  • Abstract
    Earth-reflected multipath interference can be serious for communication between near-earth spacecraft and stationary satellites. It is shown that both the depth and rate of fading are reduced by using narrow-band filters. Curves demonstrate the saving in fading margin; this saving may be crucial in an emergency.
