Abstract
A new inversion method to obtain the real state of the ionosphere with an oblique sounder is presented. This method takes some points on the backscatter ionogram obtained by scanning in elevation to estimate the parameters of the electronic density profile of the ionosphere. With these parameters, the real position of the target can be obtained by using a ray tracing.
