Abstract
We propose a method for the creation of an artificial focusing radio wave system in the ionospheric E layer on the basis of the recombination effect by production of a bagel-shaped disturbance region in the ionosphere in the two-dimensional case and a two-band disturbance region in the one-dimensional case. Two-band disturbance of the ionosphere was achieved by appropriate reconstruction of the antenna system of the SURA facility. First experiments on the diagnostics of a focusing ionospheric system have been performed by observations from the NASA WIND space vehicle.
