Meteor burst communications
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meteor burst communications (MBC), also referred to as meteor scatter communications,[1] is a radio propagation mode that exploits the ionized trails of meteors during atmospheric entry to establish brief communications paths between radio stations up to 2,250 kilometres (1,400 mi) apart. There can be forward-scatter or back-scatter of the radio waves.
