BACKSCATTER LITERATURE SURVEY

G. H. Hagn, NIELSON,DONALD L., SMITH,FRANCES H.

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

A survey of the literature pertaining to backscatter is presented in bibliographical form. Authors' abstracts have been included whenever they were available and appeared adequate. The survey is intended to cover the period from the inception of the study of ionospheric backscatter (about 1928) through 1960. This survey deals mainly with ionospherically propagated backscatter at HF. Some work on terrain returnAND ON DIRECT BACKSCATTER FROM DISCRETE OBJECTS IS PRESENTED, AND THE MAJOR EARLY PAPERS ON INCOHERENT (exospheric) scatter from electrons have been included. Material dealing with troposcatter, ionoscatter, forward propagation at HF, and meteoric and auroral echoes has, in general, been excluded. (Author)
