Scientific paper

A technique for the three-dimensional reconstruction of ionospheric inhomogeneities is presented. The technique utilizes a ground-based, sparsely filled antenna array to observe VHF or SHF transmissions from an orbiting or geostationary satellite. Amplitude and phase measurements at each array element provide a sampling of the diffraction pattern caused by the inhomogeneities. Image reconstruction is achieved digitally by inverse propagation using Fourier optical techniques in a computational analogue of an optical imaging process similar to that involved in holography. The paper discusses the theory of the technique, practical considerations involved in its implementation, and the design of a demonstration experiment. Computer simulations of the experiment using idealized models of the irregularities are presented.
