This report documents some initial observations made with the Ohio State University (OSU) ElectroScience Laboratory’s (ESL) recently-completed L-band Interference Surveyor/Analyzer (LISA) instrument from the roof of ESL on August 29, 2002. In these observations, the antenna/front end unit (AFEU) was placed on a large ground plane, facing the zenith, as shown in Figure 1. Three foot sections of RG-58 were used at both the AFEU and equipment rack ends to connect to 100-ft. sections of Belden 9913 cable, resulting in an overall length of 106-ft. of cable for each of the three connections between the AFEU and the equipment rack. The measurements were made in the late evening, long after sunset. The ambient temperature was about 68◦ F under clear skies.
