This type of information is needed in such varied fields as air pollution, astronomy, communications, earth resources, geodesy, meteorology, and navigation. Part I presents basic background information dealing with trans- mission fundamentals, the properties of electromagnetic waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the earth's atmosphere. Part II is a guide to information on the transmission properties of the earth's atmosphere to electromagnetic radiation. A major feature of Part II is the listing of tables of contents of several books and major articles on atmospheric transmission. Part III contains selected transmission information on the following observable quantities: refraction, absorption, and scattering. Part IV is a bibliography to be published in a separate volume -entitled Atmosoheric Transmission Biblioaranhv 1960-1969: A KWIC Index of Electromaanetic Wave Transmission in the Earth's Atmosohere over the Freguencr (Wavelen~th) Ran~e 3 kHz 100 km) - 3,ooo THz (0.l um). The bibliography covers the frequency regions: radio, microwave, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet. There is a listing of citations by local accession number, a key-word-in-context (KWIC) index or permuted title index, and an author index. 17. Key Wards· 18.

M. Greg Andrus, John J. Kelleher*, Jules Lehmann, and Theodore George of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Headquarters. It was compiled while the author was with the former NASA Electronics Research Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The basic task was to locate and collect information on the electromagnetic properties of the earth's atmosphere as they re­ late to earth-to-space propagation paths. This information was to be presented in handbook form for ready reference. The present document are an attempt to fulfill this requirement and in addi­ tion point to hundreds of other sources of pertinent information. I wish to acknowledge the suggestions, comments and encourage­ ment of George G. Haroules** and Alfred c. Holland*** of the Electronics Research Center in the formulation and preparation of this handbook. I would also like to thank Judith Hubbard of Shrewsbury High School, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, for her proof­ reading efforts. William I.

  • Recommendation ITU-R V.573-4
    Rec. ITU-R V.573-5 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R V.573-5* Radiocommunication vocabulary (1978-1982-1986-1990-2000-2007) Scope This Recommendation provides the main vocabulary reference, giving synonymous terms in three languages and the associated definitions. It includes terms given in Article 1 of the Radio Regulations (RR) and extends the list to technical terms defined in texts of the ITU-R. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that Article 1 of the Radio Regulations (RR) contains the definitions of terms for regulatory purposes; b) that the Radiocommunication Study Groups have a need to establish new and amended definitions for technical terms that do not appear in RR Article 1 or that are so defined as to be unsuitable for Radiocommunication Study Group purposes; c) that it would be desirable for some of these terms and definitions established by the Radiocommunication Study Groups to be more widely used within the ITU-R, recommends that the terms listed in RR Article 1 and in Annex 1 below should be used as far as possible with the meaning ascribed to them in the corresponding definition. NOTE 1 – Study Groups are invited, where there is a difficulty in using any of the terms with the meaning given in the corresponding definition, to forward to the Coordination Committee for Vocabulary (CCV) a proposal for revision or alternative application, accompanied by substantiating argument. NOTE 2 – A number of terms in this Recommendation appear also in RR Article 1 with a different definition. These terms are identified by (RR . ., MOD) or (RR . .(MOD)) if the modifications consist only of editorial changes.

The Handbook is not intended as a source book on radio astronomy, but is concerned principally with those aspects of radio astronomy that are relevant to frequency coordination, that is, the management of radio spectrum usage in order to minimize interference between radiocommunication services. Radio astronomy does not involve the transmission of radiowaves in the frequency bands allocated for its operation, and cannot cause harmful interference to other services. On the other hand, the received cosmic signals are usually extremely weak, and transmissions of other services can interfere with such signals.

Processes involved include, linear effects such as collisional absorption, scintillation and scattering which lead to loss of energy from the beam, as well as the excitation of certain nonlinear effects, such as stimulated scattering and the thermal self-focussing instability.
