Abstract
A simple, low-power 50 Mc./s. radar is described which has been designed for automatic recording of radio reflections from auroral ionization. The system features high sensitivity with good reliability. Photographic records are taken in the form of a continuous film strip displaying range and time. A complementary recording system employs circuitry which cancels interference and noise signals but produces an output signal proportional to the integrated echo intensity. The display in this latter case is in the form of a chart record from which data are immediately available.Keywords
