V-Band Beacon Experiment

As per the objective of the AFRL BAA, WaVecom seeks to statistically characterize and model weather-induced V-band propagation phenomena, focusing on signal attenuation, phase distortion, and depolarization. The model will be correlated to atmospheric and meteorological parameters.

We will design and operate a V-band beacon in geostationary orbit over the continental United States (CONUS) that emits narrow-band reference signals (71, 73.5, and 76 GHz) which will be measured by multiple, disparate, ground data measurement receivers across CONUS. Channel propagation effects will be assessed by comparing the received signals to the transmitted reference signals.
