Improvement of VHF(MB) Model.

Abstract

The improvement of a VHF(MB) link performance model is described which consists of a program which evaluates signal reflecting properties and average rate of occurrence of meteor trails for elements of area of sky at 100 km altitude within the horizons for surface antennas. Probabilities of message receipt are obtained by combining probabilities for each sky element. Both overdense and underdense meteor trails are considered. Originator-supplied key words include: Meteor-burst, Link Performance, Communications, and Radio.
