This is a new technique proposed to improve the performance of a troposcatter system. In this technique, the transmitting or receiving antenna, or both, are continuously scanning the space to iind the scattering volume that produces the optimal signal strength. The overall effect is to reduce both short-term and long-term fadings. It is equivalent to a combination of using selection angle diversity for short-term fast fading and increasing system margin for long-term slow fading,. by picking up the best signal. An extensive experimental study is suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
