Echoes in Transmission at 450 Megacycles from Land-to-Car Radio Units

Abstract

By the use of short pulses of 450-megacycle carrier, the echoes which appear in transmitting from a land station to a moving car in New York City have been investigated. The results show the multiple-path nature of transmission. Sample pictures of the received pulses are given, and, in addition, a statistical analysis of the multiple-path situation is presented. These results are of use in considering the possibilities of systems employing a wide modulation band.
