Ionosphere and Applied Aspects of Radio Communication and Radar

Until recently, much of the communications technology in the former Eastern bloc countries was largely unknown. Due to the historically competitive nature of East/West relations, scientific groups operated independently, without the benefit of open communication on theoretical frameworks and experimental technologies. With these groups now working in a more cooperative manner, the need has grown for a comprehensive guide that assimilates the information in this vast knowledge bank.
Ionosphere and Applied Aspects of Radio Communication and Radar meets the demand for an updated reference on this continually evolving global technology. The authors pay specific addition to the effects of plasma irregularities on radio wave propagation through the inhomogeneous disturbed ionosphere, an important area that is often ignored. In fully examining the changes that have occurred over recent years and in considering both current and future scenarios, this text provides researchers, students, and technicians with an unparalleled resource that will answer fundamental questions, as well as provide direction for new areas of inquiry.
