Scientific paper

The paper concerns the propagation of pulses or wave packets through an ionospheric plasma. The rise time, which appears in the ionospheric weighting function, is shown to be a realistic measure of the magnitude of the pulse shape distortion and the shortest usable pulse length in single-path single-mode communication. The case of a horizontally stratified unmagnetized collisionless ionosphere is considered. Two such simple models, which describe the lower part of the layer and the region of the maximum of electron density, respectively, allow a completely analytic treatment yielding explicit expressions, in terms of the parameters of the profiles, for the rise time. The illustrations show that the rise time may be less than 1 microsec for a steep profile typical for sporadic E-layers, but in the range of one to a few tens of microsec for propagation through a normal layer.
