Abstract :
High resolution measurements have been carried out to characterize the time spread properties of overdense meteor trails. A number of other parameters of interest for adaptive communication systems have been examined for both underdense and overdense trails. It has been found that the time spread in the overdense trails is not severe for data rates up to 250-500 kbit/s. For the underdense trails, the exponential decay constant shows great variations, and a great number of the trails have significant risetime
