Description:
The need for ionospheric measurement is especially important in Auroral and Polar regions where the ionosphere is turbulent and contains unique features to be studied. An ionosonde is a radar designed to sound the ionosphere. The radar transmits radio waves and listens for corresponding echoes from the ionosphere.
The project is aimed toward the development of a low power high frequency (HF) radar system, intended for flexible deployments in hostile and remote environments such as Spacecraft and Arctic locations. More specifically, results could have potential impacts on improvements in our understanding of solar-terrestrial interactions in the Canadian Arctic and technological advances in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
