Scientific paper

A receiver mounted on a satellite in orbit above the maximum of the F2 layer can receive radiation of frequencies that are totally reflected by the ionosphere. Two effects of reflexion in the upper part of the ionosphere are discussed in this paper; both occur particularly when the satellite enters or leaves a region in which it can receive radiation from a point source. The first of these effects is focusing, which will give a very strong signal at these points, and the second is interference between the two possible rays from the point source to the satellite. The theory of these two effects is discussed and some numerical calculations are described which demonstrate them for a particular model ionosphere.
