The statistical model of the fading of shortwave radio signals that are obliquely reflected from the ionosphere

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

Fast fadings of a shortwave signal are simulated by a Poisson sequence of pulses. The laws governing the distribution of the amplitudes and lengths of the pulses are determined from experiments. The autocorrelation function and the distribution function of the signal levels are calculated, and a comparison is made with experiments.
