Passive Coherent Scatter Radar Interferometer Implementation, Observations, and Analysis
We have recently extended the passive radar technique to permit interferometric observation of ionospheric irregularities. We discuss the implementation of a passive radar interferometer at VHF frequencies and show observations of field-aligned irregularities in the high latitude E-region ionosphere. The interferometer achieves very fine azimuthal resolution (as fine as 0.1◦, or 2 km at a range...
متن کاملSubstorm Triggering by New Plasma Intrusion: Incoherent-Scatter Radar Observations
In the companion paper, we identified a repeatable sequence of events leading to substorm onset in THEMIS all-sky imager observations: enhanced flows bring new plasma into the plasma sheet. The new plasma then moves earthward as a flow channel, bringing it to the near-Earth plasma sheet and where it produces onset instability. New plasma entering the dusk (dawn) convection cell drifts equatorwa...
متن کاملMaterial-specific analysis using coherent-scatter imaging.
Coherent-scatter computed tomography (CSCT) is a novel imaging method we are developing to produce cross-sectional images based on the low-angle (<10 degrees) scatter properties of tissue. At diagnostic energies, this scatter is primarily coherent with properties dependent upon the molecular structure of the scatterer. This facilitates the production of material-specific maps of each component ...
متن کاملSpatial observations by the CUTLASS coherent scatter radar of ionospheric modi®cation by high power radio waves
Results are presented from an experimental campaign in April 1996, in which the new CUTLASS (Co-operative UK twin-located Auroral Sounding System) coherent scatter radar was employed to observe arti®cial ®eld aligned irregularities (FAI) generated by the EISCAT (European Incoherent SCATter) heating facility at Tromsù, Norway. The distribution of backscatter intensity from within the heated regi...
متن کاملReceiver Site Optimisation for Passive Coherent Location (PCL) Radar System
The Radar Remote Sensing Group in University of Cape Town has developed accurate modelling method that uses 3D maps of the Western Cape to predict the signal path loss between a transmitter, aircraft and a receiver in the Passive Coherent Location (PCL) system. The core objective of this thesis is to investigate the use of this modelling method to optimise the location of receivers in order to ...
