我国西部罗兰台站定位性能分析

罗兰导航系统(Long range navigation)是全球卫星导航系统的有效备份和补充.罗兰信号以地波形式沿地球表面传播,随着传播距离的增加,地波信号受到地面电参数的影响会出现一定程度的传播延时,信号的场强也会逐渐减弱.为分析我国西部罗兰台站的定位性能,从理论角度分析了不同介质类型中二次时延随距离的变化关系,并结合电磁波传播规律计算了场强随距离的变化.根据罗兰接收机最低性能标准,分析了西部台站的覆盖区域以及定位范围,计算了定位区域内的几何精度因子,结果显示定位范围内大部分区域的几何精度因子小于6.在计算区域内仿真西部台站定位误差,分析结果表明:就定位而言,西部台站几何布局较为合理,但是由于二次时延的影响,纬度和经度方向定位误差较大,必须采用差分等抑制观测误差的方法提高定位精度.为扩大西部罗兰台站的定位覆盖区域,接收机的接收能力有待提升.

罗兰—C天波稳定性的测量

罗兰—C导航系统的精度取决于其传播信号的地波部分的高稳定性。这一系统的有效工作范围受到地波信号传播距离和远距离处天波信号干扰的限制。本文叙述了一种测定天波特性的技术,以便估计天波对导航过程的影响,从而改进或扩大罗兰—C系统的导航范围。到目前为止所取得的资料表明:有可能工作在地波脉冲较迟一些的点上,以得到较高的信噪比;并且也有可能以低一些的精度用天波本身导航。文中还提出了进一步研究的工作。

Loran—C 定时精度的分析

一、概述Loran-C 导航系统以天、地波传播标准时间信号。地波沿地面传播,不受电离层变化的影响,定时精度高,当前远距离时间同步多采用这一手段;天波借助于电离层 D 层的反射来实现时间同步,由于电离层周日变化的影响,使天波的时间同步精度低于地波定时精度。本文分析了接收站仅有一台铯钟的情况下,如何计算 Loran-C 地波的定时精度以及利用Loran-C 天波所能达到的定时精度。     

Ionosphere plasma holes-modeling and diagnostic

The influence of ionosphere plasma holes on HF radio wave propagation in approximation of geometrical optics is studied. The results of HF radio wave propagation modeling on routes crossing ionosphere holes are presented. The natural and modeling ionosphere sections are used (we use experimental radiotomography sections on routes: Moscow-Arkhangelsk, Moscow-Murmansk (Russia) and Block Iland-Rabiwhol (USA)). It is shown that characteristics of HF radiowave trajectory (in coordinate: height-latitude) depend on geometrical sizes of hole and the direction, point, angle and frequencies of sounding. It is shown that the asymmetry of electron density distribution results in qualitative and quantitative distinctions of waves trajectories characteristics in dependencies on direction propagation. The characteristic modes of HF radio wave propagation through hole are emphasized — one hop, captured by channel E-F, captured by hole, trapezifrom and so on. The higher interest presents the family of trajectories captured by hole. On estimations, the longest time-delay for different conditions makes up to 23 ms (or range up to 7000 km!). It is possible to say, that the hole in ionosphere can be the trap of HF radiowave. It is discussed conditions of capture and keeping of radio wave by ionospheric hole. The fact, that holes in top ionosphere are long-living and large-scale formations, indicates that disregard of radiowave propagation effects, connected with holes, will result in data distortion or misunderstanding of ionosphere monitoring and control by radiosounding in HF radiowave range.

Developments in Jovian Radio Emissions Tomography and Observations Techniques

Jupiter radio emission is known to be the most powerful nonthermal planetary radiation. In recent years specifically space-based observations allow us to permanently cover a large frequency band(from 100 kHz up to 40 MHz combined with ground-based telescopes)of the Jovian spectrum. The Plasma and Wave Science experiment onboard Galileo enables the observation of Jovian kilometric and hectometric emissions; Wind/WAVES and ground-based telescopes (mainly Decametric Array in Nancay, France, and UTR-2 in Kharkov, Ukraine) cover also hectometric and mainly decametric emissions. Specific geometrical configurations between Cassini approaching Jupiter and Wind spacecraft orbiting Earth, with Galileo orbiting Jupiter and Wind, in combination with ground-based observations provide a new approach to perform Jovian radio tomography. The tomography technique is used to analyze ray paths of Jovian radio emission observed in different directions (e.g. solar and anti-solar direction) and for different declination of Earth. The developments of Jovian radio emission tomography in recent years treated refraction effects and its connection to the local magnetic field in the radio source as well as the radio wave propagation through the Io torus and the terrestrial ionosphere. Most recently ground-based multi-site and simultaneous Jupiter decametric radio observations by means of digital spectropolarimeter and waveform receiver provide the basis of a new data analysis treatment. The above addressed topics are without exemption deeply connected to the plasma structures the radio waves are generated in and propagating through. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

An Investigation of the Role of Propagation Effects in the Formation of Drifting Narrowband Type II Fiber Bursts on the Dynamic Spectrum

This paper investigates one of the kinds of fine structure of solar decametric type II radio bursts in the form of drifting narrowband fibers. The appearance of such a structure is customarily explained by the features of the radio emission mechanism in the source, which is formed when the shock wave catches up the previously-generated coronal mass ejection. On the other hand, the characteristics of radio emission in the process of its propagation from the source to the observation point are affected by inhomogeneities in the corona. Hence it is of considerable interest to estimate the role of the propagation effects on the formation of fiber structures in radio bursts. Our calculations show that strong refraction effects (caustics) can give rise to narrowband structures in the dynamic spectrum, resembling in their characteristics the fibers observed.     

The radio occultation method for the study of planetary atmospheres

Planets, the Moon and the Sun have a number of ‘atmospheres’ which may be measured by the radio occultation method, using radio links to spacecraft which are being occulted by the body as seen from Earth. Molecular atmospheres, ionospheres, magnetospheres, particulate atmospheres and several general-relativistic atmospheres can all affect radio signal charecteristics. Measured Doppler frequencies, signal amplitudes and wave polarizations contain information on these atmospheres. From such occultation measurements it is possible, for example, to derive profiles which are related to the changes with height of temperature, pressure, density, free electron concentration and the fractional volume occupied by particulate matter. Important clues for identifying molecular or particulate constituents can also be obtained. Even though one type of measurement may be sensitive to several different atmospheric characteristics, these characteristics can often be separated due to differences in their dependence on radio wavelength or on height above the surface.

Propagation of auroral infrasonic waves studied by ray-tracings

On the basis of a ray tracing method the propagation and the attenuation of an auroral infrasonic wave are studied. Relations between the direct and reflected waves recorded at the Syowa Station, Antarctica, are clarified with regard to; (1) the delay time, (2) the intensity ratio, and (3) trace velocities. The time required for a wave to travel from the source to the ground is calculated as a function of a source altitude. The retardation time of the wave arrival behind the zenith crossing of the source current is deduced. A method is proposed for estimating the altitude of a source current from the retardation and a trace velocity of the wave. It is concluded that the existence of a supersonic equatorward motion of an electrojet which continues for a certain distance is necessary for the observation of auroral infrasonic waves. This distance must exceed at least 60 km equatorwards from the zenith to enable the direct wave to be observed and with total length of 930 km to enable the reflected wave to be observed. From these conditions it is also concluded that the infrasonic wave is not seen in mid latitudes and the reflected wave is a rare phenomenon.     

Gradient coupling within the terrestrial ionospheric plasma

The gradient coupling within the ionospheric plasma in the presence of local variation of atmospheric heating and other modifications during high power radio wave propagation has been studied. The appropriate form of coupled equations for the modified situation is obtained. The electromagnetic and acoustic modes of wave propagation have been separated and solved, by the WKB method. Field quantities may be used to explore different properties of the medium under the modified condition.
