Effect Of The Ionosphere On Space Systems And Communications

A Complete Reference for the 21st Century Until recently, much of the communications technology in the former Eastern bloc countries was largely unknown. Due to the historically competitive nature of East/West relations, scientific groups operated independently, without the benefit of open communication on theoretical framework

This introductory text describes the ionosphere and its effects on systems which use it, giving special emphasis to HF communications. Further sections cover topics such as the single station location of HF transmitters and over-the-horizon radar.
