Summary

The performance of a tropospheric communications system, either within the line of sight or beyond the line of sight, is directly dependent on the operating characteristics of the equipment. Performance predictions of a communications system are made on the basis that equipment will operate in a prescribed manner. The degree of success of the communications system will depend largely upon how well these predicted values correspond to the actual operating values. Consideration is given to those portions of the equipment that have definite effect upon the operating performance. Specific items of equipment and methods for determining their performance are considered. Representative results in light of the present state of the art permits an evaluation of an actual system in terms of realizing an "optimum" system. In systems that do not have the "optimum" characteristics desired, consideration is given to laboratory devices which may alleviate these deficiencies. Future systems should consider incorporating these devices as development permits.
