Abstract:

This report describes the results of the measurement of phase and amplitude radio wave interaction. The objective of this work is to study the properties of ionospheric D-region using radio wave interaction effect which is also commonly known as Luxembourg effect. The technique closely follows that developed by Fejer 1955 for radio wave amplitude interaction experiment. However, the technique of measurement as well as the theory of radio wave interaction have been extended and generalized at the Ionosphere Research Laboratory by the introduction of complex coefficient of interaction T, to embody the effect of interaction on both the amplitude and the phase of radio waves.
