Ionospheric scintillation-induced integration losses for space-based radar

An estimate of the impact of very severe ionospheric conditions on the coherent and noncoherent integration process from a two-way, transionospheric, propagation path is obtained for a specific type of frequency-diverse waveform. A bound on the total integration loss that would result from using thi...

Description
Summary:An estimate of the impact of very severe ionospheric conditions on the coherent and noncoherent integration process from a two-way, transionospheric, propagation path is obtained for a specific type of frequency-diverse waveform. A bound on the total integration loss that would result from using this waveform during such ionospheric conditions is obtained through the analysis of data from the wideband satellite experiment.< >
