From the measurements it can be seen that significant depolarisation takes place at the rotation angles which coincide with the measured nulls of the 360/spl deg/ attenuation patterns especially for the conifer trees. In some cases, it has been seen that the transmitted vertical linearly polarised wave has been depolarised to a near horizontally polarised wave by the vegetation material. The depolarisation occurs as a result of the various components of the tree having currents induced in them. The various tree components are then re-transmitting the waves at different polarisations resulting in an overall depolarisation of the originally transmitted wave. With the metal tree it can be seen that the amount of depolarisation increases as more and more branches are added to the structure. This shows that the various components of the tree are responsible for the depolarisation of the incident signal.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The classical model fails at temperatures close to the critical temperature. Therefore, this paper suggests an improved model, in which the temperature dependence of the superconducting parameters, are evaluated using Ginzburg-Landau theory, only near Tc. The improved model is then applied to characterize high Tc superconductors; YBCO, for example. The improved model is verified by comparing the calculated parameters for different superconductors with the corresponding published data. The model is then used to predict the performance of superconducting TEM transmission lines. The analysis reveals how the superconducting lines are advantageous over their ohmic (copper, for example) counterparts because they not only reduce signal attenuation but also allow dispersionless wave propagation.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The induced sheath currents and internal voltages are computed in both frequency and time domains. The effects of different cable parameters as well as the angle of wave incidence have been investigated and discussed for both aerial and buried coaxial cables.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The analysis is based on the idea that the elliptical array with the same feeding and geometry of the circular array that adjusted originally to give a main beam at a certain direction will orient the main beam towards another direction according to a certain transformation. The elliptical array can be obtained by mechanically squeezing the circular array elements. The new technique of scanning has a great advantage over classical mechanical scanning systems represented in keeping the antenna aperture itself fixed. This advantage yields no need for the large amount of power exhausted in mechanically moving the heavy antenna system beside the mechanical problems of that system.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The channel exhibits fading and shadowing as well as additive white Gaussian noise. Fading and shadowing cause both envelope and phase variations of the received signal. For QPSK, 16-ary PSK, and 16-QAM signaling schemes a raised-cosine pulse of 0.235 roll-off factor has been used. Regarding the envelop variations, the paper shows that QPRS and 16-QAM have approximately the same bit error rate performance. However, 16-QAM has a spectral efficiency twice that of QPRS. QPSK has the lowest bit error probability but it also has the lowest spectral efficiency. The 16-ary PSK has the highest bit error probability compared with the other modulation schemes. Regarding the phase variations, the performance of all techniques at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) becomes independent of SNR and the performance of 16-ary PSK becomes dominant.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.
