The phenomenon of radio propagation using meteor trails is reviewed. Underdense and
overdense propagation mechanisms are described. The multipath and fading profile of the …

It is important for communications researchers and designers to understand the limitations of
the media that they use. To enable a better understanding of meteor trails as a …

The throughput performances of three adaptive information rate techniques on the
bandlimited meteor burst channel are investigated. Closed-form expressions for throughput …

In this paper, we briefly describe the physical characteristics of a meteor-burst (MB)
communication channel, and then present the results of an analysis showing the expected …

The author investigates the performance of an adaptive information rate technique that is
particularly well suited to the bandwidth-limited meteor burst channel. This technique uses …

The transmitted data rate is a function of the channel state and is varied in such a way as to
keep the probability of bit error approximately constant. The performance measure of the …

We investigate the general application of Maxwell's equations to the forward scattering of
radio waves from a meteor train considered as a cylindrical cold collisionless plasma. The …

This paper describes an approach to the analysis of data from the US Air Force high latitude
meteor burst test bed in which a data base of key statistics is created from the raw data …

This paper presents a variable rate transmission scheme suitable for bandlimited meteor
burst channel. Meteor Burst Communication (MBC) is a unique type of radio communication …

A new type of Meteor Burst Communication (MBC) network is developed. Each unit of the
network is based on a DSP board running a modem software. All the fundamental blocks …
