Whistler-mode propagation of Omega VLF navigation signals as observed on board of satellites
Abstract
The possibility of using observations of Omega signals made with Interkosmos satellites during broadband very low frequency band measurements for studying whistler-mode penetration of ground transmitter signals through the ionosphere and the ducted and nonducted propagation of the signals is shown. Signals and echoes observed in the region above the high-latitude Omega transmitter and observations of ground transmitter signals in the magnetically conjugate region are described and discussed.
