Radio wave propagation characteristics of a simple ionospheric model based on rocket data

Abstract

In the U.S.S.R. and abroad in the last few years valuable experimental data have been obtained with the help of rockets, relating to investigations of distribution of ionization with altitude in high atmospheric regions. The available results make it possible to attain a more specific understanding of ionosphere structure and lead to a number of conclusions pertaining to the problem of radiowave propagation at high altitudes.
