Description
Summary:ITC/USA 2014 Conference Proceedings / The Fiftieth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 20-23, 2014 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, CA === This experiment has two purposes. One, to determine if a modern diversity combiner normally used in missile telemetry for polarization diversity can be used for spatial diversity to obtain a gain in the signal quality. Two, to determine if a simple test can be designed such that a non-laboratory test can be performed by the average telemetry operator in order to assess the first purpose.
