Measure of E.C.D., time of arrival, amplitude and phase of both ground and reflected waves of LORAN-C pulses
Abstract
An investigation of LORAN C pulses emitted at 100 kHz by the Sylt station (Federal Republic of Germany) and received at Brussels situated at 514 km is described. The pulses are analyzed digitally. After deconvolution of the received wave, the ground wave (already measured with high precision) is subtracted to obtain the reflected wave on the ionosphere. This analysis provides accurate results for time of arrival, amplitude, phase, and ECD of both ground and reflected waves. The heights of the D layer of the ionosphere are also given.
