Special Information on High-Frequency Radar. Part 15

Abstract

A good real time description of the ionospheric transmission path will be essential for effective operational use of the radar. The major purpose of this experiment is to explore analysis techniques that use echoes from the earth surface as a base to form a transmission description and thus to optimize radar operation and to evaluate radar performance. The essential step herein is to determine how to provide an adequate description of the transmission medium. The extent to which this description can be accomplished with only radar outputs will be examined and the necessary auxiliary ionospheric describers will be defined.
