Modernization of the Irkutsk Incoherent Scatter Radar
We present the results of modernization of the Irkutsk Incoherent Scatter Radar’s control and acquisition system. The modernization was carried out using results of space experiments Plasma–Progress and Radar–Progress involving Progress cargo spacecraft.

Ducting of incoherent scatter radar waves by field-aligned irregularities [PDF]
We provide an explanation for a mysterious phenomenon that has been recognized in recent years in European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) UHF incoherent scatter radar (ISR) measurements during many high-power high-frequency (HF) ionospheric pumping ...

Features of Ne recovery at the Irkutsk Incoherent Scatter Radar
The article presents a new method of restoring the electron density profile (Ne) according to data from the Irkutsk Incoherent Scatter Radar (IISR). This method has been developed taking into account the Faraday rotation of the polarization plane, which ...

A Novel Composite Coding Method for Incoherent Scatter Radar [PDF]
Many modern ionospheric studies rely on incoherent scatter radars (ISR) since this kind of radar is able to detect various ionospheric parameters over very long ranges. The performance of ISR significantly depends on its coding system. In recent decades,

The Effect of Space Objects on Ionospheric Observations: Perspective of SYISR
Space objects around the Earth are a potential pollution source for ground-based radio observations. The Sanya incoherent scatter radar (SYISR) is a newly built active digital phased array, all solid-state transmitting and digital receiving incoherent ...

Thermospheric atomic oxygen density estimates using the EISCAT Svalbard Radar [PDF]
[1] Coupling between the ionized and neutral atmosphere through particle collisions allows an indirect study of the neutral atmosphere through measurements of ionospheric plasma parameters. We estimate the neutral density of the upper thermosphere above ~

High-resolution maps of the characteristic energy of precipitating auroral particles [PDF]
For the first time we produce high-resolution maps of the characteristic energy of precipitating electrons from ground-based instrumentation in the auroral zone over northern Scandinavia. This is done by combining intensity-calibrated optical data at 557.

Common volume coherent and incoherent scatter radar observations of mid-latitude sporadic E-layers and QP echoes [PDF]
Common-volume observations of sporadic E-layers made on 14-15 June 2002 with the Arecibo incoherent scatter radar and a 30MHz coherent scatter radar imager located on St. Croix are described.
