Single Station of an Electromagnetic Wave after Reflection by a Tilted Plane or Sinusoidal Ionosphere: A Preliminary Report.

Abstract

IMINARY Report.Research and development technical rept.,Kotin,Leon ;ECOM-4103DA-1-T-061102-B-14-A1-T-061102-B-14-A-02(*electromagnetic radiation, *direction finding), ionosphere, electromagnetic wave reflections, approximation(mathematics)geometrical opticsThe author determines mathematically the source of an electromagnetic signal originating at some unknown point on the earth's (Planar surface after being reflected from the ionosphere. Two cases are considered: first, the signal is reflected by a tilted plane, representing the boundary of the ionosphere; second, the signal is reflected by a sinusoidal surface. The parameters describing either of these surfaces are assumed to have been determined by ionospheric probes and the direction of the reflected signal is assumed to have been determined by direction finding techniques.
