A deconvolution technique for measuring D-region radio wave backscatter

A new deconvolution technique similar to that used by Jones and Thiele (1991) was used to determine the positions and Doppler shifts of D-region scatteres at Bribie Island (152°E, 27°S). The new technique performs analysis in the frequency domain. It is introduced and measurements of the aspect sensitivity and angular spread of D-region backscatter at 1.98 MHz are shown. These results are similar to those obtained by others.
