dc.description.abstractIt has been found in recent years that a study of the fluctuations in the signals received from radio stars affords a powerful means of investigating the irregular structure of the ionosphere. In 1955 studies of this type, using frequencies of 223 Me and 456 Me, were initiated at the Geophysical Institute, with a view to investigating the smallscale structure of the highly disturbed auroral ionosphere. The purpose of this report is to present a complete description of the initial experimental arrangement. Further developments of the equipment and some results of analysis of the data have been presented in Quarterly Progress Reports covering the period since 1 June 1956, The report is divided into three sections. Section I contains a description of the basic philosophy of the experiment with an elementary discussion of the various parameters involved. Section II contains a brief description of the actual field installation, and Section III is devoted to the electronic design features. The diagrams pertaining to each section are located at the end of the section.en_US
