Spectral line broadening of a radio wave scattered by meteor trails
Abstract
An expression is obtained for the energy spectrum for the scattering of a monochromatic radar wave by sparse meteor trails. The parameters of the trail, the atmosphere, and the measuring instrumentation are accounted for in the solution.
