Abstract :
This paper presents the results of microwave measurements at a wavelength of 3.2 cm for overwater paths of 12 and 32 miles near Galveston, Texas. Continuous curves of phase and signal strength for a range of transmitter and receiver heights between 10 and 55 feet mean sea level are shown. Comparison of the two radio paths is made, and deviations of the results from those commonly expected for overwater propagation are pointed out.
