Echo scattering of SW signals by artificial ionospheric turbulence
Abstract
In the experiments reported here, a study was made of the effects of resonance scattering of SW probing signals by artificial ionospheric turbulence generated by a high-power short-wave transmitter. Particular attention is given to the anomalous scattering relaxation behavior after the transmitter is switched off. This anomalous behavior, referred to as the echo effect, involves repeated fast rise and slow decrease of the scattering. A possible mechanism of the echo effect is proposed.
