Abstract
Millimeter waves can be used for high resolution ranging and imaging. As the necessity of high-speed multimedia communication increases, millimeter wave systems are being developed since they are useful for wide band communication considering the shortage of available spectrum bands. However, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of millimeter propagation in the atmosphere to assess the performance of millimeter wave systems. MCF and intensity fluctuations describe atmospheric effects on millimeter wave propagation. Using the quasi-optical method, a method is investigated to obtain MCF from the intensity distribution of focal plane. Also, a practical method is proposed to compute MCF from the flux measurement in the antenna focal plane.
