Description: Instrumentation was developed for investigating the radio frequency link between the A station and the B unit in the Range Measurement System. Propagation effects are characterized using a multipath simulation in a laboratory environment. Field experiments were conducted to investigate the presence of a multipath environment at Ft. Hunter Liggett. The effects of varying the ambient temperature on the A station and the B unit were measured.
