A Statistical Analysis of Polar Meteor Scatter Propagation in the 45-104 MHz Band
Data being acquired over a 1200 km path in northern Greenland, to characterize the polar meteor scatter channel, are described. The data include both propagation and projected communication statistics. The propagation statistics include arrival rates and duty cycle as a function of frequency and rec...

Summary: | Data being acquired over a 1200 km path in northern Greenland, to characterize the polar meteor scatter channel, are described. The data include both propagation and projected communication statistics. The propagation statistics include arrival rates and duty cycle as a function of frequency and received signal level. The communication statistics include estimates of the performance of a number of candidate system in terms of throughput and message delivery time, as a function of frequency, time-of-day, season, data rate and modulation, for a specified bit-error-rate, message length and packet size.
