Nonlinear Phenomena in the Ionosphere [E-Book] / by A. V. Gurevich.
Nonlinear effects in the ionosphere (cross modulation of radio waves) have been known since the 1930s. Only recently, however, has the rapid increase in the power and directivity of the radio transmitters made it possible to alter the properties of the ionosphere strongly and to modify it artificial...
