This evidence results from air-ground radio communications trials supplemented by frequency sounding transmissions over flight paths of up to 1260 nautical miles into auroral zone latitudes from a ground station in Nova Scotia. The ground-air frequency sounding measurements established that propagation via clouds of auroral sporadic E was possible for a high percentage of time during geomagnetic storms. These modes provided a useful, and often the only, mode for communications over the air-ground path. In order to communicate effectively via auroral E modes, it was found necessary to use a wide selection of aeronautical frequencies. In addition, because of the rapid variation in HF propagation conditions, it was found desirable to renew channel sampling measurements once every five minutes on each frequency assignment. It was established that this procedure for the selection of operating frequencies during disturbances resulted in communications reliability that was appreciably higher than would have been obtained if other frequency selection techniques, alone, were followed.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73043314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is a spherical earth surrounded by a concentric ionosphere. Although the model is highly idealized, the theory is still quite involved. The complexities arise from the long wavelengths inherent in such problems. In Section I the elementary geometrical or hop theory for VLF is considered. This includes a discussion of ionospheric reflection coefficients and the influence of multiple reflections. The validity of the model is established by a comparison with experimental data. In Section II, the diffractive corrections near the caustics of the ray systems are obtained. These provide a means to extend the theory to points near and beyond the horizon point for the individual hops or rays. In Section III, the waveguide mode theory is expounded. A number of approximations and simplifications are introduced in order to illustrate principles. References to more detailed analyses which use higher order approximations are given. Finally, in Section IV, the influence of a stratified ionosphere is treated by using a two-layer model. The material in this paper was included in the Summer (1961) Lecture Course on Radio Propagation given at the Boulder Laboratories of the National Bureau of Standards, and in earlier graduate courses, at the University of Colorado.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84745004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transition from reverse storage conduction to cutoff for this diode can occur in about a nanosecond, and it can produce associated discontinuities up to about an ampere and/or a hundred volts. This step recovery action can be conveniently used to generate waveforms which are very rich in high-order harmonics in the gigacycle region. In many cases it offers considerable advantage in circuit simplicity and power-handling capability over alternative diode harmonic generators. This paper is concerned with the factors that go into the appropriate mating of this diode with its circuit, and with evaluation of the performance that can be achieved. As a by-product of this analysis, a generalized evaluation of rectification efficiency is obtained which is useful for many conventional semiconductor diodes in conventional rectifier circuits. This analysis also leads to a convenient method for evaluating the lifetime of semiconductor diodes, which is particularly useful in the fractional nanosecond range because it separates out capacitive effects.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85372693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The receptor makes certain measurements on the unknown pattern to be recognized; the categorizer determines from these measurements the particular allowable pattern class to which the unknown pattern belongs. This paper is concerned with the study of a particular class of categorizers, the linear decision function. The optimum linear decision function is the best linear approximation to the optimum decision function in the following sense: 1) \"Optimum\" is taken to mean minimum loss (which includes minimum error systems). 2) \"Linear\" is taken to mean that each pair of pattern classes is separated by one and only one hyperplane in the measurement space. This class of categorizers is of practical interest for two reasons: 1) It can be empirically designed without making any assumptions whatsoever about either the distribution of the receptor measurements or the a priori probabilities of occurrence of the pattern classes, providing an appropriate pattern source is available. 2) Its implementation is quite simple and inexpensive. Various properties of linear decision functions are discussed. One such property is that a linear decision function is guaranteed to perform at least as well as a minimum distance categorizer. Procedures are then developed for the estimation (or design) of the optimum linear decision function based upon an appropriate sampling from the pattern classes to be categorized.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80933306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first stable oscillator consisted of an InSb Corbino disk in a ferrite pot core reduced to a temperature of -40°C. The frequency was 210 cps and the open-circuited ac voltage was 540 mv, peak to peak. In order to construct a stable oscillator at room temperature, the shape of the semiconductor specimen was modified to a rectangular form composed of narrow strips of InSb joined together with metallic indium. This specimen has a comparatively higher internal resistance and a more pronounced magnetoresistance effect at low magnetic flux densities. A second oscillator using this specimen as an active element in an E-form ferrite core was tested and found to operate stably at a temperature of 25°C, in a frequency range from a few cps up to 300 cps. The maximum output power available was 2.5 mw, at 70 cps. There is no heating-up time required by the oscillator and the oscillation can start immediately under certain initial conditions. The elimination of the equipment to provide the low temperature, i.e., below 0° C for the oscillator has shown that the magnetoresistance effect can be made good use of in electronic devices without requiring a complicated circuit arrangement.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85431929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This type of analysis is often confused by the fact that apparent resistivity estimates obtained from data recorded at one site on different occasions may vary considerably. Also the apparent resistivities computed from one component of the E field and its orthogonal H field component may be significantly different from those computed from another pair of orthogonal field components. Cantwell points out that these variations may, at least in part, be due to two-dimensional inhomogeneities and/or anisotropies together with randomly polarized magnetotelluric fields. Accordingly he has suggested testing the wave impedance of the earth as a rank two tensor. This paper describes a measurement and analysis procedure developed using a model based on a two-dimensional wave impedance tensor. It was found that a rotation of the measuring axis to minimize the main diagonal terms in the impedance tensor yields a reasonably consistent estimate of the direction and magnitude of a major inhomogeneity in the apparent resistivity profile.","PeriodicalId":20574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IRE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78377018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
