Description
Summary:One of the perspective directions of active impact on the ionosphere is the for-mation of electron concentration irregularities. Such irregularities can be used to increase the efficiency of radar systems and signal transfer in an interlayer ionospheric waveguide. Experiments on Alaska-Antarctica path showed that signal level at a receiving site is de-termined by heating wave parameters. In this case we did not study the character of its level change with time, i.e. possible fading, that is very important for radio-engineering systems. It is known that fading is determined by dimensions and space distribution of irregularity. Observations over EISCAT experiments make it possible, to some degree, to show the character of a scattered signal and the topology of ionospheric magnetically-oriented irregularities in the area of active impact on the ionosphere.
