| Abstract: | A part of the Earth station at the Kashima Branch of the Radio Research Laboratories has a highly sensitive receiving system newly designed for receiving 3 coherent and weak beacon signals transmitted from the Engineering Test Satellite Type-II (ETS-II) of Japan and obtaining propagation data on quasimillimeter and millimeter wavelengths. The ground system includes a main receiving station which has a 10-m diameter antenna for multifrequencies, highly sensitive receivers, a rain radar, which has many unique functions, a radiometer, meteorological instruments, and data processing computers. The facilities of the main receiving station for ETS-II propagation experiments, except for the rain radar, are described. |
