Abstract

Meteor scatter bursts from distant television transmitters have been observed on a sweep frequency receiver. The receiver covers the band 50–100 Mc/s, and signals at a number of frequencies are recorded from each meteor trail. The trails are of the overdense type, and the scattered signals show a characteristic frequency-time profile, persisting longer at the lower frequencies. The duration of the signals as a function of frequency agrees closely with the inverse-square relation predicted theoretically. The diurnal and seasonal variations in the number of scatter bursts observed are briefly described.
