Radar Ionospheric Propagation Effects Determined from One-Way Path Tests

Abstract

On 9, 10, 11 November 1972, one-way HF transmission tests from Cyprus to England were run to determine the effect of the ionosphere in possible contamination of a transmitted clean spectrum. The results presented yield a lower limit on such contamination, and indicate that sources other than forward propagation mechanisms (scintillation, multipathing, forward scatter from electron density irregularities, etc.) are responsible for the contamination of two-way clutter spectra.
