Title: Ray Trace Modeling Code

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1542806· OSTI ID:1542806

This document gives a brief overview of the basic theory of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation through an inhomogeneous, non-stochastic plasma and the development of a computer code to model that propagation in three dimensional space. This code has been developed to account for extreme ionospheric refractory conditions, that is, propagation of electromagnetic waves near the geomagnetic poles, and significant electron density gradients in all three directions.
