Abstract:
- Anomalous propagation of radio waves in the atmosphere has been recognized as a problem with radar and radio communications for many years. The propagation characteristics of radio waves depend upon the meteorological conditions, and several different propagation regimes can occur. In particular, radio ducting is a condition where detection and reception ranges are severely modified by atmospheric conditions. This paper summarizes the relevant aspects of radio propagation theory, the meteorol...
