Multifunctional LFM ionosonde to the ionosphere monitoring
In this paper the joint development of the ISTP SB RAS (Irkutsk) and ONIIP (Omsk) multifunctional chirp ionosonde. The main features of the new ionosonde the possibility of parallel implementation of signal recording vertical, back-scatter and oblique sounding of the ionosphere continuous chirp signals, high electromagnetic compatibility and low power consumption. Multifunctional chirp ionosonde may be a basic element of the ionosphere and communication channels monitoring in Russia.
