Scientific paper

A radio antenna on a satellite within the ionosphere can receive extraterrestrial radiation incident only within a definite cone of directions. A new mathematical technique is applied to ray tracing in a spherically stratified isotropic ionosphere, and results are presented which show how the cone size varies with receiver frequency and satellite height. The contributions of the different directions of incidence to the total electric field measured in the ionosphere are calculated.
