Determination of Ionosphere Critical Frequency f0F2,

Abstract

This report describes an estimation procedure for determining the critical frequency of the ionospheric F2 layer. The estimate is obtained from measurements of radio noise obtained by a satellite orbiting above the F2 layer. A spectrum analyzer obtains noise power as a function of frequency in a band wide enough to include all possible values of the critical frequency. (Author)
