Abstract
The characteristics of an ideal antenna pattern for short- and long-range meteor scatter communication are analyzed. The ideal antenna configuration matches its pattern to the spatial arrival pattern of meteor trails. The analysis is used to compare the performance for several commonly used antenna configurations. It is demonstrated that the characteristics of antennas that perform well at short ranges are different from those that perform well at long ranges
