Scientific paper

The paper describes radar altimetry experiments during the descent stage from the Luna-18 lunar probe, which consisted of the measurement of the backscattering characteristics of the lunar surface at heights of about 2 km. The transmitter of the altimeter operated in the CW mode with linear frequency modulation. The antenna system consisted of two identical reflector antennas, one for transmission, the other for reception. The backscattering measurements were based on detection of a beat signal between transmitted and received signals. Results of the Luna-18 experiments are correlated with those of Luna-20.
