Peter Forsyth, E. L. Vogan, Diane C. Hansen, Colin O. Hines · Proceedings of the IRE · 1957
The JANET system of long-range communication employs VHF radio signals which are forward-scattered by the ionized trails of individual meteors. The propagation characteristics and design considerations of such a system are surveyed in this paper, and preliminary operating experience is summarized.
