Abstract

The use of adaptive filters in estimating the instantaneous frequency of Doppler shifted signals reflected from the ionosphere is addressed in this paper. With the aid of a software simulator, it has been shown that an adaptive linear predictor is effective in extracting the required Doppler shift. Analysis of such signals provides information on velocity fluctuations that arise from travelling ionospheric disturbances and is important when trying to link a disturbance with its source. Spectral analysis of the Doppler itself can provide additional information about a disturbance and limitations in the performance of Fourier transforms in this application are highlighted
