The Scattering of Radio Waves by the Moon

Abstract

A detailed investigation has been made of the rapid fading of radio echoes from the moon on a frequency of 120 Mc/s. This has shown that the conclusion reached in an earlier paper that the moon behaves as a uniformly bright reflector is in need of revision, and that metre length radio waves are reflected from the moon, largely by a region at the centre of the visible disc, which has a radius of about one third of the moon.
