An Evaluation of VLF Daytime Propagation Parameters Using a Multi-Frequency Sounder
Abstract
An oblique incidence VLF ionospheric sounder system gives a means of obtaining multi-frequency amplitude and phase measurements in the VLF band simultaneously at up to 10 frequencies over a single propagation path. The analysis presented in this report is an attempt (1) to determine the degree of correlation obtainable between experimental sounder data and predicted results from existing theoretical models for VLF propagation, (2) to determine the variability of propagation parameters derived from the experimental data, and (3) to compare theoretical model parameters which best describe experimental results with previously published findings.
