      Huyghebaert, Devin Ray; McWilliams, Kathryn A.; Hussey, Glenn; Galeschuk, Draven; Chau, Jorge L.; Vierinen, Juha (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-07)
      The Ionospheric Continuous-wave E-region Bistatic Experimental Auroral Radar (ICEBEAR) is a VHF coherent scatter radar that operates with a field-of-view centered on 58°N, 106°W and measures characteristics of ionospheric E-region plasma density irregularities. The initial operations of ICEBEAR utilized a wavelength-spaced linear receiving array to determine the angle of arrival of the ionospheric ...
    • The Distribution of Small-Scale Irregularities in the E-Region, and Its Tendency to Match the Spectrum of Field-Aligned Current Structures in the F-Region 

      Ivarsen, Magnus Fagernes; Lozinsky, Adam; St-Maurice, Jean-Pierre; Spicher, Andres; Huyghebaert, Devin Ray; Hussey, Glenn C.; Galeschuk, Draven; Pitzel, Brian; Vierinen, Juha (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-16)
      We associate new data from icebear, a coherent scatter radar located in Saskatchewan, Canada, with scale-dependent physics in the ionosphere. We subject the large-scale icebear 3D echo patterns (treated as 2D point clouds) to a data analysis technique hitherto never applied to the ionosphere, a technique that is widely applied in cosmological red-shift surveys to characterize the spatial clustering ...
    • ICEBEAR-3D: A Low Elevation Imaging Radar Using a Non-Uniform Coplanar Receiver Array for E Region Observations 

      Lozinsky, Adam; Hussey, Glenn; McWilliams, Kathryn; Huyghebaert, Devin Ray; Galeschuk, Draven (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-19)
      The Ionospheric Continuous-wave E region Bistatic Experimental Auroral Radar (ICEBEAR) has been reconfigured using a phase error minimization and stochastic antenna location perturbation technique. The resulting 45-baseline sparse non-uniform coplanar T-shaped array, ICEBEAR-3D, is used for aperture synthesis radar imaging of low elevation targets. The reconfigured receiver antenna array now has ...
