Comunicación por rebote lunar

Abstract

We describe a form of communication in which the lunar surface is used as a means of electromagnetic wave reflector. This mode of communication is known in the Hams community as moonbounce communications, or EME also, for its acronym in English (earth-moon-earth). Although it seems relatively simple, there are some very interesting datails that should be considered if you want to have a successful experience. The aim of this paper is to show some design parameters from the point of view of wave propagation, not including the calculation and orientation of the antenna to the moon, which is another very interesting issue.
