Abstract

When space dust rushes into the atmosphere, oxygen and nitrogen are ionized by frictional heat. Along the dust flight path, a very long cylindrical plasma tube, 10 meters in diameter and several kilometers long is formed. The long plasma tube is called “meteor burst” and is a good reflector for radio waves in the VHF band. Non-line-of-sight communication performed using this reflector is called “meteor burst communication”. In this chapter, the basics of meteor burst communication and its applications are outlined.
