Refractive Index Measurement at TV Tower Prague

Abstract

Propagation related parameters are used for design and frequencyplanning of microwave networks. Atmospheric refractive index is theimportant parameter that influences the propagation of electromagneticwaves during so-called "clear sky" conditions. The refractive indexmeasurement, which was launched in TESTCOM, is presented in this paper.Some statistical characteristics and their utilization are introduced.
