Abstract

We present the results of experimental studies of the properties of the thermal narrow-continuum component NCth of stimulated electromagnetic emission (SEE) of the ionosphere observed in a narrow region between the pump frequency and the downshifted maximum (DM). Spectral and dynamic characteristics of the NCth component are considered and the dependence of its properties on the frequency and power of the pumping wave as well as on the zenith angle of a high-power radio-wave beam in the geomagnetic-meridian plane is analyzed. It is proved that the NCth generation is determined by the thermal (resonant) parametric instability near the level of the upper-hybrid resonance for a high-power radio wave. New experimental data on the properties of the main DM thermal component in the spectrum of stimulated electromagnetic emission, which we used as the reference component in most measurements, are presented.
