We revisit the theory developed by Hagfors and Brockelman [1971]. The purpose of this work is to improve the understanding of variations in the incoherent scatter spectrum in the lower E-region of the ionosphere between approximately 85 - 150 km under the assumption of Brownian [Chandrasekhar, 1943], Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) [Bhatnagar et al., 1954], and Hard-Sphere collisions [Chapman and Cowling, 1970] in the absence of magnetic field influences, for operating frequencies representative of the chain of NSF-sponsored incoherent scatter radars (ISRs), which range from 50 MHz - 1290 MHz. Also, we extend the computationally limited examples in Hagfors and Brockelman [1971] as well as demonstrate the feasibility of making the E-region measurements at the Arecibo Observatory (AO) ISR in Puerto Rico (18 N, 67 W). We show that the original non-dimensionalized examples from Hagfors and Brockelman [1971] were representative of spectra at approximately 95 km, 105 km, and 150 km.
