利用地球卫星的无线电掩星技术(国外英语资料) Radio occultation technique using earth satellite -- wave theory method The first chapter describes the background and overview of radio occultation using earth satellite First chapters Radio using earth satellite Background and overview of occultation 1.1 INTRODUCTION This book focuses on the phase and amplitude of electromagnetic waves during radio occultation. The radio wave comes from a distant transmitter and reaches the receiver through the intermediate medium. The receiver measures the phase and amplitude of the radio wave during the occultation event. These measurements can be used to infer the physical properties of the medium. Radio occultation is a detection technique in which radio waves emitted by distant spacecraft pass through the middle planetary atmosphere before reaching the receiver. The so-called occultation, Mask or star mask refers to the transmitter, the planet and its atmosphere, the geometry of the receiver changes with time. Although usually involves a mask or eclipse (or lunar eclipse) planets, recently used the word also includes non occultation events, for example, through the ionosphere spacecraft detection on spacecraft or receiving the reflected waves from the reflector to the. From the receiver of the rigorous occultation, the transmitter may rise or fall from the edge of the mask planet. When radio waves from the transmitter pass through the middle atmosphere, the refractive medium changes its propagation direction and velocity. Therefore, the phase and amplitude of the radio wave at the receiver are changed with respect to the corresponding values that remain unchanged when there is no intermediate or no mask planet. As time evolves, the receiver generates sections of variations in phase and amplitude of the wave, and is recorded by the receiver. These sections provide information about the refractive properties of the medium. In seismology, the use of seismic wave detection arrays located in a certain geogra
