Scientific paper

The paper begins with a description of an experimental earth station especially designed for moon-reflection communication purposes. This is followed by a description of the experimental results of the characteristics of the moon-reflected signals obtained at an operating frequency in the lower X band. The received signal envelope was found to fade within wide limits and the fading rate was dependent on the libration rate of the moon. The maximum rms frequency in the frequency spectrum of the envelope was estimated to be on the order of 60 Hz, giving an approximate measure of the frequency spreading due to the libration of the moon. The statistical analysis of the echo envelope has also been carried out and it was found to follow the Rayleigh distribution.
