Radio Waves and the Ionosphere - ARRL
www.arrl.orgThe Ionosphere The ionosphere is so named because it is a region in the atmo-sphere where ions exist. In most areas of the atmosphere molecules are in a combined state and remain electrically neutral. In the ionosphere, however, solar radiation (mainly ultraviolet light) is so intense that when it strikes gas molecules they split—ionize—and
Antenna Height and Communications Effectiveness
www.arrl.orgThe ionosphere is a region of the Earth’s upper atmosphere that is ionized primarily by ultraviolet rays from the Sun. The Earth’s ionosphere has the property that it will refract or bend radio waves passing through it. The ionosphere is not a single “blanket” of …
MODELING EARTH’S ATMOSPHERIC
gml.noaa.govThe ionosphere is very hot and contains light "shows" called auroras. Beyond the ionosphere is the exosphere. It starts at 400km above the Earth’s surface. And extend out to outer space. Color this gray and label it exosphere. Draw and label a meteor entering Earth's atmosphere. When you have completed your model. ...
Understanding Solar Indices - ARRL
www.arrl.orgThe ionosphere can be visualized as containing a number of layers. In fact, there is ionization throughout the iono-sphere; the layers are really peaks in the levels of ionization, as we can see from Figure 1. The ionosphere affects radio waves because according to the level of ionization, the signals are refracted, i.e.,
Propagation Modes Ground-wave propagation Range km ( )
www.qsl.net(The ionosphere is a layer of charged particles called ions, in the Earth's outer atmosphere. These ionized gases make long-distance radio contacts possible on the HF bands.) Picture below shows how transmitted short-waves (3MHz – 30MHz) propagate and reflected by the ionosphere, the skip zones, and level of reception. Skywave propagation

Radio-controlled clock instructions
lib.store.yahoo.netRadio waves at these low frequencies use the earth and the ionosphere as a wave-guide and follow the curvature of the earth for long distances. The built in antenna system will receive the WWVB signal anywhere in North America within 2000 miles of Fort Collins where long-wave radio reception is undisturbed. A microprocessor activates the ...
