      Schlatter, Nicola M.; Belyey, Vasyl; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Ivchenko, Nickolay; Whiter, Daniel; Dahlgren, Hanna; Tuttle, Sam; Grydeland, Tom (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-20)
      Measurements of naturally enhanced ion acoustic line (NEIAL) echoes obtained with a five-antenna interferometric imaging radar system are presented. The observations were conducted with the European Incoherent SCATter (EISCAT) radar on Svalbard and the EISCAT Aperture Synthesis Imaging receivers (EASI) installed at the radar site. Four baselines of the interferometer are used in the analysis. Based ...
    • Directional features of the downshifted peak observed in HF-induced stimulated electromagnetic emission spectra obtained using an interferometer. 

      Rietveld, Michael T.; Tereshchenko, E.D.; Belyey, Vasyl; Yurik, R.Yu; Brekke, Asgeir; Khudukon, B.Z.; Isham, B.; Hagfors, T.; Grill, M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006-08-09)
      A high frequency (HF) ionospheric modification experiment was carried out between 25 September and 8 October 2004, using the EISCAT HF transmitter located near Tromsø, Norway. During this experiment the spectra of the stimulated HF sideband waves (stimulated electromagnetic emission or SEE) induced by the HF pump were observed using an interferometer consisting of three spaced receiving antennas ...
    • An evaluation of International Reference Ionosphere electron density in the polar cap and cusp using EISCAT Svalbard radar measurements 

      Bjoland, Lindis Merete; Belyey, Vasyl; Løvhaug, Unni Pia; La Hoz, Cesar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-13)
      Incoherent scatter radar measurements are an important source for studies of ionospheric plasma parameters. In this paper the EISCAT Svalbard radar (ESR) long-term database is used to evaluate the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model. The ESR started operations in 1996, and the accumulated database up to 2012 thus covers 16 years, giving an overview of the ionosphere in the polar cap and ...
    • An interferometer experiment to explore the aspect angle dependence of stimulated electromagnetic emission spectra. 

      Rietveld, Michael T.; Isham, B.; Hagfors, T.; Belyey, Vasyl; La Hoz, Cesar; Khudukon, B.; Brekke, Asgeir; Yurik, R.Yu; Tereshchenko, E.D.; Grill, M.; Heinselman, C. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2005-01-31)
      When the Earth's ionosphere is irradiated by a radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic wave of sufficiently high power density and tuned to match a natural E- or F-region plasma frequency, ionospheric magnetoionic wave modes may be excited and may generate RF electromagnetic sideband waves via nonlinear interactions. These secondary emissions, which may then escape from the ionosphere, have been termed ...
    • A procedure to correct the effects of a relative delay between the quadrature components of radar signals at base band. 

      Westman, A.; Grydeland, Tom; Belyey, Vasyl; La Hoz, Cesar (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2005-01-31)
      The real and imaginary parts of baseband signals are obtained from a real narrow–band signal by quadrature mixing, i.e. by mixing with cosine and sine signals at the narrow band’s selected center frequency. We address the consequences of a delay between the outputs of the quadrature mixer, which arise when digital samples of the quadrature baseband signals are not synchronised, i.e. when ...
    • Science goals for a high-frequency radar and radio imaging array 

      Isham, Brett Cameron; Bullett, Terence; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Polisensky, Emil; Brum, Christiano; Fallen, Christopher; Belyey, Vasyl; Parra-Rojas, Francisco; Norouzi, Leila; Stramkals, Arturs; Ökten, Mehmet Baran (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-01)
      A medium and high-frequency antenna array for radar and radio imaging of the ionosphere is planned for installation in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Science goals include the study of space weather, radio propagation, meteors, lightning, and plasma physics. Radio imaging is ideal for the study of stimulated ionospheric radio emissions, such as those induced by the Arecibo Observatory high-power HF radio ...
