Determination of the Ionosphere Parameters by Analyzing the Propagation After-Effects

Abstract

The objective of this basic research effort is to provide theoretical guidance for the design of EM/radar waveforms which suffer minimal distortion from propagation through the ionosphere. The PT and his team will initially derive a hierarchy of mathematical models for simulating the responses of the ionosphere to a variety armor-monochromatic radar waveforms. A time domain analysis of these propagating waves will be undertaken. The AF anticipates greater reliance on space-based radars as well as comm systems and this research will upgrade the fidelity of the predictions of such systems operations.
