CALCULATIONS OF SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIOS FOR SOLAR RADAR ECHOES

Abstract

The procedure for computing the signal-to-noise ratio of radar echoes from the sun is outlined. The radial distribution of electron density in the corona, the coronal temperature, solar noise, galactic noise, and radar-system parameters are taken into account. Examples are given of computations for two solar radar systems that will soon be in operation.
