What about using cables to simulate the reflector? Connecting the
antenna to the receiver using a splitter, two very different length
cables and then a combiner at the receiver's input.

It depends. Your question is
To take out the reflection angle variation between satellite and
reflector, I think that using cables can help, so that it is possible
to experiment with the multipath sensitivity of the receiver. The
experiment then can continue using a real reflector. The satellites'
position is known and maybe

That is a very unrealistic
Hi
…. back to “that depends”….
When you have a sat at just the right point *and* you are tracking that sat
*and* it’s a significant part of your solution - you get a multi path issue.
Then the question becomes how good your particular receiver is at rejecting
multi path.
You can indeed do a
My experience with radar tells me it depends a lot on the geometry. For
example a perfectly flat mirror-like reflector would only give trouble for
an instant when the angle was correct It would give very bright
reflection but then the satellite would move and then it would give no
reflection.
