  • Abstract
    A digital method of extracting ionospheric information from the Doppler broadening of radar signals is presented. 1 bit correlation, used by Weinreb in radioastronomy, is applied to measuring autocorrelation functions of ionospheric incoherent scatter returns. Calculated correlation functions are fitted to the observations to derive electron and ion temperatures.
