ELF and VLF radiation from the polar electrojet antenna

Journal Article · · Radio Sci.; (United States)
An approximate evaluation is made of the ELF/VLF dipole moment of the polar electrojet antenna established by ionospheric heating via the use of powerful HF waves amplitude modulated with frequencies in the ELF/VLF range. The theory of reciprocity is used to determine the magnitude of the ELF/VLF waveguide excitation produced by such a dipole immersed in the ionosphere. Propagation under a series of ionospheres ranging from quiet auroral nighttime to disturbed auroral daytime is considered. 32 references.
