Several proposed propagation fade detection techniques are reviewed in light of general requirements presented for beacon fade characterization. The discussion includes an analysis of phase lock versus frequency lock beacon tracking loops and of excess noise injection type radiometers. The Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) beacon fade detection schemes proposed by the Communications Satellite Corporation and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory are examined along with the fade detection technique used by Harris in the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) low burst rate (LBR) terminal.
