Abstract

As a part of a FY-80 study of the future potential of the 32-GHz K 4 band frequency region to planetary exploration, this article addresses the expected performance of the 64-m antenna network at 32 GHz. A modest level of noninterference upgrade work is assumed to achieve reasonable antenna aperture efficiency and alleviate antenna pointing difficulties. As a final item, electronic compensation of antenna aperture phasing errors is briefly considered as an alternative to the physical upgrade.
