Effects of moist dust/sand accretion on parabolic reflector antennas

Theoretical results show that dust/sand accretion on reflector antennas is a real threat for slant-path communication systems, this includes satellite-to-Earth as well as high-low ground-to-ground microwave systems. Although little information on the accretion process is available it is guessed that...

Although little information on the accretion process is available it is guessed that under dry conditions these antennas will not form dust/sand layers more than a fraction of a millimeter thick, which will induce an attenuation of a fraction of a decibel; however, this will induce a beam shift of a fraction of a degree, which is significant to satellite communication systems.
