Analysis of the fine structure of HF ground backscatter and ionospheric scatter signals based on EKB radar data

Abstract

The analysis was carried out of the scattered signal in the cases of ground backscatter and ionospheric scatter. The analysis is based on the data of the decameter coherent EKB ISTP SB RAS radar. In the paper the signals scattered in each sounding run were analysed before their statistical averaging. Based on the analysis and on previously studied mechanisms, a model is constructed for ionospheric scatter and ground backscatter signals. Within the framework of the Bayesian approach and based on a large amount of the data the technique and algorithm for separating these two types of signals are constructed. The statistical analysis of the results was carried out based on the EKB ISTP SB RAS data.
