Abstract :
A novel low power multifunctional ionospheric sounding system, the Wuhan Ionospheric Comprehensive Sounding System (WICSS) is presented. Software Defined Radio (SDR) based and low transmission power are the two most significant features of the system. The system can achieve Vertical-Incidence (VI), oblique backscatter and oblique incidence sounding within low transmitting power. The radar waveforms, system structure and major system parameters are described. Typical experimental results are shown at the end of the paper.
