VHF sporadic-E propagation - Investigation of ionisation patch sizes
Abstract
Six receiving stations have been established to obtain information on the spatial correlation of sporadic-E oblique propagation events, and thus on the horizontal extent of the dense patches of sporadic-E ionization which support the propagation of VHF signals. Measurements were made in the East Midlands during the main sporadic-E season in the summer of 1986. Each station has a scanning receiver interfaced to a microcomputer for real-time control of the experiment. Correlation techniques are used to analyze the data.
