We present the results of experimental studies of the atmospheric phase and amplitude fluctuations of decimeter radio waves in radio occultation measurements using paths connecting the MICROLAB satellite and the satellites of the GPS navigation system. The dependences of the amplitude- and phase-fluctuation variance on the minimum altitude of the ray trajectory and the frequency spectra of the fluctuations are presented. The experimental data are compared with the theory of radio-wave propagation in random media. We determine the spectral index of irregularities of the atmospheric refractive index, the external scale of the irregularities, and the variance of the refractive-index fluctuations. It is shown that the radio occultation technique allows one to monitor small-scale irregularities of the atmosphere. 相似文献

We analyze ionospheric fluctuations of decimeter radio waves on occultation polar paths between the navigational GPS satellites
and the satellite CHAMP. Time dependences of the variance of the signal amplitude and amplitude fluctuation spectra under
high solar activity in October–November 2003 are presented. The behavior of the signal amplitude fluctuations during occultation
ionospheric sounding in the polar regions in different time of the day and in the equatorial regions in the daytime are considered.
Radio-wave fluctuations are related to the solar-activity manifestations. It is shown that during strong solar-flare activity,
intense small-scale plasma irregularities are excited in the polar ionosphere.

We analyze the spectra of the phase and amplitude fluctuations of radio signals recorded in the course of four ionospheric
radio-sounding sessions at altitudes from 70 to 120 km. Our study is aimed at determining the sources of these fluctuations.
Comparing the statistical properties of fluctuations measured at two wavelengths with theoretical calculations, we conclude
that only the low-frequency part of background fluctuations is of ionospheric origin, while the high-frequency fluctuations
are caused by noise of the measuring system. The amplitude fluctuations are more informative in the high-frequency region,
since they are mainly due to ionospheric irregularities.
We discuss the possibility of separation of the components of amplitude fluctuations caused by ionospheric irregularities
and the irregularities of the neutral atmosphere in the case of sounding at the altitudes at which those components have comparable
values. It is shown that this problem cannot be solved by dispersion and extrapolation methods, which are used for separation
of the regular ionospheric and atmospheric components of the amplitude and phase variations of radio signals.

We consider various theoretical models for the spectrum of small-scale ionospheric turbulence. The particular role of the
generalized model of the ionospheric-turbulence spectrum, which takes into account that the anisotropy (extension) of small-scale
irregularities of the upper ionosphere along the Earth's magnetic field direction depends on the transverse scale of those
irregularities, is emphasized. The results of the. rst target experiments on radio sensing of the midlatitude ionosphere by
signals from on-orbit satellites at frequencies 150 and 400 MHz under conditions of increased solar activity are presented.
The experiments were performed at the radiophysical facility in the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2003. We studied statistical
characteristics of the amplitude fluctuations of the received signals for different angles ϑ between the line of sight from
a satellite to a ground-based reception point and the Earth's magnetic field direction. It was found in the course of the
experiments that the spectrum slope of amplitude fluctuations of the received radiation is a function of the angle ϑ. The
obtained result agrees with the generalized model of the ionospheric-turbulence spectrum and can be an argument in favor of
the pronounced anisotropic structure of small-scale electron-density irregularities of the midlatitude ionosphere under disturbed
geophysical conditions.

The problem of radio-wave scattering by anisotropic wandering irregularities is examined. Allowance for the strong anisotropy of the irregularities simplifies the problem and allows a simple formula to be derived for calculation of the Doppler spectrum of a scattered signal. The calculated spectra are similar in form to the experimental spectra of radio aurora. 相似文献

Powerful electromagnetic waves illuminating the ionospheric plasma generate small-scale density irregularities elongated in the direction of the geomagnetic field. Stochastic motion of these irregularities results in fluctuations of HF radio signals backscattered by the illuminated region. Observations of the full wave form of the radio signals make it possible to reconstruct the distribution function of the irregularities over their velocities. An experiment with such a reconstruction is proposed. 相似文献

Strong scintillation spectra behind a phase screen containing large-scale anisotropic irregularities
A. S. Gurvich V. V. Vorob’ev D. A. Marakasov O. V. Fedorova 《Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics》2007,50(9):679-695
Using the approximation of an anisotropic statistically-homogeneous phase screen, we consider spectra of strong scintillations.
Numerical calculations are made for the model of large-scale anisotropic inhomogeneities typical of the Earth’s stratosphere.
The spectrum transformation is studied for the transition from weak scintillations to the asymptotic regime of strong scintillations.
We show that with increasing level of the scintillations, their spectra rapidly broaden to the region of large wave numbers
which exceed both the inverse internal scale of the irregularities and the inverse radius of the Fresnel zone by orders of
magnitude. Notable deviations of the two-dimensional spectra from the predictions based on perturbation theory are shown to
occur for scintillation variance exceeding 0.1. The obtained two-dimensional spectra of scintillations give a complete picture
of the behavior of one-dimensional spectra which can be retrieved from satellite observations made for different angles between
the orbit plane and the direction to the source. Vertical and horizontal one-dimensional spectra are studied in detail. Approximate
algebraic formulas are derived and their validity is proved by applying them to the calculation of spectra of strong scintillations
for a wide (several decades) range of the wave number values.

The problem of defining the spectral form of ionospheric irregularities with dimensions from hundreds to thousands of meters
is considered. A generalized model is proposed for the ionospheric turbulence spectrum, taking into account both the anisotropic
properties of the large-scale fraction of irregularities and the dependence of the anisotropy (elongation) of small-scale
irregularities of the upper ionosphere along the Earth magnetic field direction on the transverse scale of those irregularities.
Relations have been derived to determine the basic parameters of the irregularity spectrum of the uppers ionosphere (anisotropy
indices for large-scale and small-scale fractions) and the depth of a thin ionospheric layer through measurement of the spectral
characteristics of amplitude and phase fluctuations of orbital satellite signals. Using this model of the plasma irregularity
spectrum, we can explain consistently many well-known experimental data on spectral characteristics of the phase and amplitude
fluctuations of orbital satellite signals both in the high-latitude and midlatitude ionosphere.

Traveling solar wind disturbances have a significant influence on radio wave characteristics during the superior solar conjunction communication. This paper considers the impact of solar scintillation on phase fluctuations of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation during the superior solar conjunction. Based on the Geometric Optics approximation, the close-form approximation model for phase fluctuations is developed. Both effects of anisotropic temporal variations function of plasma irregularities and their power spectrum are presented and analyzed numerically. It is found that phase fluctuations rapidly decrease with increasing Sun–Earth–Probe angle and decrease with increasing frequency at the rate of 1/f2. Moreover, the role of various features of the solar wind irregularities and their influence on the EM wave characteristic parameters is studied and discussed. Finally, we study the phase fluctuations of typical cases in order to better understand the impact of phase fluctuations in future deep space communication scenarios during solar conjunction periods. 相似文献

Angle-of-arrival fluctuations for wave propagation through non-Kolmogorov turbulence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Recently the increasing experimental evidences have shown that atmospheric turbulence statistics does not obey Kolmogorov’s power spectrum model in portions of the troposphere and stratosphere. These experiments have prompted the investigations of optical wave propagation through atmospheric turbulence described by non-classical power spectra. In this paper, using an original approach and considering a non-Kolmogorov power spectrum which uses a generalized power law instead of constant standard power law value 11/3 and a generalized amplitude factor instead of constant value 0.033, the variances of the angle-of-arrival fluctuations of the plane and spherical waves are derived in weak turbulence for a horizontal path. The concise closed-form expressions are obtained and used to analyze the influence of spectral power law variation on the angle-of-arrival fluctuations. 相似文献

It is well known that atmospheric turbulence causes significant variations of the arrival angle of laser beams used in free-space
communications. Usually, angle-of-arrival fluctuations of an optical wave in the plane of the receiver aperture is calculated
by Kolmogorov’s power spectral-density model. Unfortunately, recently increasing experimental evidence has shown that atmospheric
turbulence statistics does not obey Kolmogorov’s power spectrum model in some parts of the troposphere and stratosphere. These
experiments have prompted investigations of the optical-wave propagation through atmospheric turbulence described by nonclassical
power spectra. In this paper, employing a new approach and considering a non-Kolmogorov power spectrum with a generalized
power law instead of the constant standard power-law value 11/3 and a generalized amplitude factor instead of the constant
value 0.033, we derive the variances of the angle-of-arrival fluctuations of the plane and spherical waves in a weak turbulence
for the horizontal path. The concise closed-form expressions are obtained and used to analyze the influence of spectral power-law
variations on the angle-of-arrival fluctuations. In addition, the outer scale effect is also analyzed. 相似文献

We present the results of experimental studies of propagation of short radio waves on a long transequatorial path of Laverton
(Australia) — Rostov-on-Don, which were obtained with the help of an ionosonde/direction finder with chirp modulation of the
signal. It is shown that conditions for propagation of anomalous signals by means of sideband reflection of radio waves from
the Himalayan Hills and the Plateau of Iran and also due to scattering of radio waves from the high-latitude ionosphere of
the northern hemisphere are realized on the given path. The propagation of radio waves is modeled with allowance for their
scattering by anisotropic magnetic field-aligned irregularities of a high-latitude ionosphere, which are located on the northern
wall of the main ionospheric trough of the F layer. It is shown that the results of the experiment agree well with the calculated data. 相似文献

A method for studying the Earth’s ionosphere at altitudes of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere based on creating artificial periodic irregularities in the ionospheric plasma by means of powerful radio waves is breafly described. Methods for determining the temperature and density of the neutral component and the velocity of vertical and turbulent motions by measuring the characteristics of the signal backscattered by the irregularities are described. The results of experiments performed on a SURA heating facility aimed at a comprehensive investigation of the natural processes occurring in the Earth’s lower ionosphere due to the propagation of atmospheric waves and turbulent phenomena are examined. Based on measurements of the amplitude and phase of the signal scattered by periodic irregularities, the most important characteristics of the neutral and plasma components of the Earth’s atmosphere at altitudes of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere are determined. Further research on the subject is discussed. 相似文献

A model of decameter-decimeter radio wave propagation in a strongly inhomogeneous mid-latitude ionosphere is constructed using
a modified method of radio wave refractive scattering. The model establishes the relationship between the basic statistical
radio wave characteristics and the turbulence parameters of the upper ionosphere. Different aspects of the theory of radio
wave refractive scattering are considered in application to the study of amplitude and phase fluctuations of decameter-decimeter
radio waves propagating in a three-dimensional randomly inhomogeneous ionosphere with an arbitrary electron density distribution.

We consider the problem of phase fluctuations of radio waves behind a strong phase screen and in an optically thick layer.
It is shown that the phase-fluctuation distribution of the received radiation at an observation point located in the saturated-scintillation
area behind a turbulent phase screen is almost identical to the normal distribution of phase fluctuations of the wave on the
screen. Amplitude and phase fluctuations of the received radiation are uncorrelated both for single-point and space-diversity
reception if, in the latter case, the distance between the observation points exceeds the spatial scale of the diffraction
component of the complex field of the received signal. Expressions for the mean square and the structural function of phase
fluctuations of radio waves behind a turbulent phase screen in the saturated-scintillation regime are obtained. It is shown
that the structural function of phase fluctuations in the diffraction component of the scattered field, which is exactly the
function that forms saturated scintillations of the received radiation, almost coincides with the structural function of phase
fluctuations on the screen. It is also shown that the diffraction effects can be neglected and the geometric-optical approximation
should be used when calculating statistical characteristics of phase fluctuations of a plane wave in the saturated-scintillation
area in an optically thick layer with large-scale refractive-index irregularities.

We present the results of the last experiments aimed at studying the phenomenon of mid-latitude F-spread by radio-raying of the ionosphere using the signal from the SURA facility received onboard the NASA spacecraft WIND. A generalized model of spatio-temporal distribution of the electron density in the mid-latitude ionosphere under F-spread conditions is proposed. Based on this model describing large-scale ionospheric irregularities, we calculate the ray trajectories of HF radio waves. We also discuss the known results of comparative measurements of the variances of relative electron-density fluctuations in large-scale irregularities of the mid-latitude ionosphere, carried out by the OGO-6 spacecraft, and the frequency broadening of the ionograms of ground-based stations for the vertical sounding. It is shown that the proposed model of electron-density disturbances in the mid-latitude ionosphere in the presence of F-spread is able not only to describe well the main qualitative feature of HF radiowave propagation under disturbed geophysical conditions, but also to reproduce quite accurately the quantitative parameters of the frequency broadening of reflected HF signals under conditions of standard and developed F-spread. 相似文献

We present the results of the experiment on studying the multifractal structure (with inhomogeneity sizes from tens to hundreds
of meters across the Earth’s magnetic field) of the artificial ionospheric turbulence when the midlatitude ionosphere is affected
by high-power HF radio waves. The experimental studies were performed on the basis of the “Sura” heating facility with the
help of radio sounding of the disturbed region of the ionospheric plasma by signals from the Earth’s orbital satellites. The
influence of the magnetic zenith effect on measured multifractal characteristics of the small-scale artificial turbulence
of the midlatitude ionosphere was examined. In the case of vertical radio sounding of the disturbed ionosphere region, the
measured multipower and generalized multifractal spectra of turbulence coincide well with similar multifractal characteristics
of the ionospheric turbulence under natural conditions. This result is explained by the fact that the scattering of signals
by weak quasi-isotropic small-scale inhomogeneities of the electron number density in a thick layer with a typical size of
several hundred kilometers above the region of reflection of high-power HF radio waves gives the major contribution to the
observed amplitude fluctuations of received signals. In the case of oblique sounding of the disturbance region at small angles
between the line of sight to the satellite and the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field, the nonuniform structure of the
small-scale turbulence with a relatively narrow multipower spectrum and small variations in the generalized multifractal spectrum
of the electron number density was detected. Such a fairly well ordered structure of the turbulence is explained by the influence
of the magnetic zenith effect on the generation of anisotropic small-scale artificial turbulence in a thin layer having a
typical size of several ten kilometers and located below the pump-wave reflection height in the upper ionosphere. 相似文献

We consider the problem of diagnostics of the local structure of small-scale ionospheric turbulence using the multifractal
analysis of received signals from the Earth’s orbital satellites after the radio sounding of the inhomogeneous ionosphere
by these signals. In particular, it is shown that analysis of the multifractal structure of the received-signal amplitude
records by the method of multidimensional structural functions allows one to determine the indices of the multipower local
spectra of the small-scale ionospheric turbulence, which are inherent in it due to the nonuniform spatial distribution of
small-scale fluctuations of the electron number density. It is noted that information on the multipower spectrum of small-scale
ionospheric turbulence is not available for the conventional radio scintillation method based on the classical spectral analysis
of received signals during the remote radio sounding of the ionosphere. At the same time, the method of multidimensional structural
functions is efficient under conditions of actual nonstationarity of the process of scattering of the HF radio waves by the
randomly inhomogeneous ionospheric plasma. The method of multidimensional structural functions is used for the multifractal
processing of received signals of orbital satellites during special experiments on radio sounding of the midlatitude ionosphere
under natural conditions and its modification by high-power HF radio waves. First data on the indices of the multipower local
spectra of small-scale ionospheric turbulence are obtained.

A theory and experimental results for sound propagation through an anisotropic shallow water environment are presented to examine the frequency dependence of the scintillation index in the presence of internal waves. The theory of horizontal rays and vertical modes is used to establish the azimutal and frequency behavior of the sound intensity fluctuations, specifically for shallow water broadband acoustic signals propagating through internal waves. This theory is then used to examine the frequency dependent, anisotropic acoustic field measured during the SWARM'95 experiment. The frequency dependent modal scintillation index is described for the frequency range of 30-200 Hz on the New Jersey continental shelf. 相似文献
