High Frequency Radar Astronomy With HAARP

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA514972 | Open PDF

Abstract:

At high frequency, radio waves will interact with space plasmas and surfaces of local astronomical objects, producing an echo that can provide new diagnostic data. The availability of high power radars operating at high frequencies opens a window for the remote investigation of our surrounding space environment. We discuss and illustrate this technique with some specific examples.
