A method for determining ionospheric plasma parameters on the basis of measurements of the spectral widths of plasma lines emitted from height regions of increased apparent noise temperature is presented. Expressions are presented for the dependence of the height interval from which the plasma line signal is emitted on variations in the plasma frequency of the medium and for the dependence of receiver frequency on medium plasma frequency. It is shown that the plasma line spectral width may be determined from measurements of the entire vertical extent of the scattering plasma layer and of the height interval at the level of half intensity of the apparent noise temperature burst. The plasma line spectral width can then be used to determine the effective number of superthermal particles, the vertical electron profile, and the electron plasma temperature.
