Re: (meteorobs) Radio Observation of Meteors (very short)
The general thumbrules concerning radiometeor relationships with radio
frequency / wavelength are as followws:
1. Hourly rates are roughly proportional to wavelength
2. Echo duration is roughly proportional to wavelength^2
3. Echo peak power is roughly proportional to wavelength^3
This is why the lowest possible frequency is usually sought after, without
getting into the region of normal ionospheric propagation.
Take care,
