| dc.description.abstract | Two methods are developed that allow the calculation of the local electron density in the vicinity of an artificial earth satellite. For accurate results it is necessary for the satellite to have a highly elliptical orbit, transmit two closely-spaced frequencies and a third frequency that is a harmonic of one of the closely-spaced frequencies. The first method allows the local electron density to be calculated from differential Doppler data. The second method allows the local electron density to be calculated from Faraday rotation rate, total Faraday rotation angle and geomagnetic field data. Experimental results are presented which utilized measurements of radio transmissions from Explorer 27 (BE-C) satellite. A listing is presented of an IBM 7094 computer program that performs the necessary computations. | en |
