Summary
Atmospheric effects on multiple-frequency range measurement techniques are examined on the basis of geometrical optics. Analyses are made for both the dual frequency case (two optical wavelengths) and the triple-frequency case (two optical and one radio wavelength); separate consideration is given to the ground-to-ground and ground-to-air or ground-to-space configurations. The results indicate that for the ground-to-ground case accuracies of from 2 parts in 108 to 6 parts in 107 can be achieved, depending on the method used and the meteorological conditions encountered, while for the ground-to-space case the accuracies attainable would range from 2 mm times sec z0 for the dual-frequency technique (where z0 is the true zenith angle to the upper terminal, and the formulae given are restricted to z0 smaller than about 80°).
