Transmission code optimization method for incoherent scatter radar [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 When statistical inversion of a lag profile is used to determine an incoherent scatter target, the posterior variance of the estimated target can be used to determine how well a set of transmission codes perform.

How the Saint Santin incoherent scatter system paved the way for a French involvement in EISCAT [PDF]
History of Geo- and Space Sciences, 2013 This paper relates the development of a French incoherent scatter system which started its operations in 1965. This development took place several years after the initial implementation of such systems in the United States, in Peru and in the United ...

Parametric decay of beam-driven Langmuir wave and enhanced ion-acoustic fluctuations in the ionosphere: a weak turbulence approach [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1999 We present a model that describes the decay of beam generated Langmuir waves into ion-acoustic waves in the topside ionosphere. This calculation is done within the frame of the weak turbulence approximation.

Electron heating by HF pumping of high-latitude ionospheric F-region plasma near magnetic zenith [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2020 High-frequency electromagnetic pumping of ionospheric F-region plasma at high and mid latitudes gives the strongest plasma response in magnetic zenith, antiparallel to the geomagnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere.

On the IS-Rada Theory and Observations of the Polar Ionosphere
Antarctic Record, 1979 The application of the incoherent scatter radar technique to the observation of the earth's ionosphere is described. The basic theory of the incoherent scatter is reviewed briefiy and the radar parameters for these investigations are roughly estimated ...

MIDAS-W: a workstation-based incoherent scatter radar data acquisition system [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2000 The Millstone Hill Incoherent Scatter Data Acquisition System (MIDAS) is based on an abstract model of an incoherent scatter radar. This model is implemented in a hierarchical software system, which serves to isolate hardware and low-level software ...

Estimating uncertainties in incoherent scatter radar parameters from random variations in time series data [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2004 The variation of parameters in time series data from the EISCAT UHF incoherent scatter radar has been used to estimate the uncertainties in measurements of electron concentration, electron and ion temperature and line-of-sight ion velocity.

Local determination of ionospheric plasma convection from coherent scatter radar data using the SECS technique [PDF]
, 2010 A new technique for merging line-of-sight (LOS) data of the ionospheric plasma convection velocity, as obtained from coherent scatter radars, into a full velocity vector field on a sphere is presented.
