Processing of Digital Ionograms.

Abstract

More precise and more complete (amplitude and phase) information can be obtained with modern digital ionosondes. This in turn stimulated the development of new data processing routines which can provide new and better information about the ionosphere. The mathematical principles of computing angle of arrival (echo-location), Doppler velocity, and more accurate virtual heights; separating overlapping ordinary and extraordinary echos; estimating peak parameters; etc are described together with some applications and first steps toward automatic scaling of ionograms.
