Polar Fox II - Experimental Phase

Abstract

The report describes the Polar Fox II HF backscatter system built by Raytheon Company. This system will be used to collect data relating to the effects of auroral clutter on a HF radar system. The Polar Fox II System consists of a transmitter-receiver site co-located north of Caribou, Maine, and three remote beacon sites; one in Thule and in Narssarssuaq, Greenland, and the other in Keflavik, Iceland. The receiver-processors are described along with measurements of system performance. Also discussed is the co-located transmitter site and the transmitter and receiver antenna arrays. The processing and displays to be used in the analysis of the data are also presented.
