'Araks' Doppler radar measurements of the ionospheric effects of artificial electron beam in the North Hemisphere
Abstract
The results of Doppler radar measurements, fulfilled during the two flights of the Araks experiments, are presented. The possibility of radar detection of artificial electron beam injection from a magnetically conjugated region is proved. The scattering spectrum is shown to have a double-peak structure. Different characteristics of each component are described. Possible physical mechanisms of such scattering and its connection with the beam parameters are discussed.
