Novel specular meteor radar systems using coherent MIMO techniques to study the mesosphere and lower thermosphere
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-05)Typical specular meteor radars (SMRs) use one transmitting antenna and at least a five-antenna interferometric configuration on reception to study the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region. The interferometric configuration allows the measurement of the angle-of-arrival (AOA) of the detected meteor echoes, which in turn is needed to derive atmospheric parameters (e.g., mean winds, momentum ... -
