Meteor Trails Scattering Characteristics And Their Effects On Electronic Systems Performance

In this paper the essential characteristics of meteor trails and the reflection and propagation from meteor trails are studied. Using cylindrical electronic-ion clouds as an example, the scattering characteristics of underdense trails and overdense trails are derived. The effects of the meteor trails orientation on the size and shape of the footprint on the ground are calculated, which the mechanism of good concealment, antijam and low probability of intercept is explained. This method overcomes the classical limitation. In addition, the communication channels and the communication protocols are studied.The performance of three protocols of the piont-to-piont communiacations are compared and the effects of encoding and signal-to-noise rate on the performance of communication systems are derived. Furthermore, meteor trails scattering can affect the performance of a beyond-light-of-sight radar system. When radio waves pass through half of the first jump distance, the effects of meteor trails scattering on a radar system are investigated. The effects of meteor trails scattering on a back scattering beyond-light-of-sight radar detected distance and probability of detection are creatively calculated in theory . It is practicable worth for analyzing the performance of the electronic systems.
