Scientific paper

It has been proposed to sound the ionosphere by means of nonlinear mixing of two VHF/UHF waves of different frequency. This paper studies the problem theoretically, including the earth's magnetic field, collisions and plasma inhomogeneity. We find that collisions, and sideways drift of wave packets due to perpendicular components of the group velocity, may seriously affect the results when the plasma inhomogeneity is weak. Also, the effect is favoured if the pump waves have lower frequencies than used in recently reported experiments.
