Polarization of the “Sura” facility radiation on oblique paths

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We derived analytical expressions for the Stokes parameters of the “Sura” facility radiation. Results of the first experiments on studying the linearly polarized components of the facility radiation on oblique paths by the method of reception of signals on remote spacecraft are presented. The dominant contribution of the plasmasphere into the rotation measure of the radio-wave polarization plane in near-Earth space is noted.
