Abstract :
We consider questions of the orientation and tuning of radiometeoric synchronization complex (RMSC) antennas, taking into account path extension and area relief. Design data are obtained under the following assumptions: the troposphere is normal; the mean height of a meteoric trace is 95 km; the carrier frequency is that of the "METKA" RMSC signal; the surface of a reflecting region is horizontal and smooth; the elementary antenna has horizontal polarization.
