  • Abstract
    The spatial impulse response functions of simple ionospheric models are computed using a ray-tracing technique. Such functions show measurable dependence on the single parameters characterizing the assumed profile. Hence the solution of the inverse problem (i.e., to determine the profile of the ionosphere from a measured impulse response function) seems feasible.
