摘要：
We propose a new method for determination of the electron number density in the E region of the ionosphere on the basis of scattering of radio waves from artificial periodic inhomogeneities formed by the high-power radio emission at two frequencies and having different spatial periods. The ratio of relaxation times of the artificial periodic inhomogeneities at a given altitude is determined only by the ratio of their spatial periods, which makes it possible to determine electron number density. The paper presents the corresponding calculations and the estimates of possible measurement errors. © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2006.
