Description
Summary:Powerful remote sensing techniques have been developed over the last several decades by the radio science community for probing of the ionospheric plasma state using radio wave scattering combined with passive or active illuminators. The last three decades have seen huge advances in processing and analysis speed afforded by modern specialized and general purpose computing platforms. Accordingly, elements and architectures in a software radar framework have grown to encompass much of the infrastructure used in modern ionospheric sensing platforms. particularly in applications of RF capture, signal processing, and inverse analysis.
