ELECTRON DENSITY PROFILE RECOVERY ACCURACY AND APPLICATION OF POLYNOMIAL APPROXIMATIONS IN THE FREQUENCY-AND-ANGULAR SOUNDING OF THE IONOSPHERE
Purpose: Analysis of the error in recovering the height profile of the electron density of the ionosphere by the frequency-andangular sounding technique in dependence on the accuracy of measuring vertical plane angles of arrival of the probe signals and inexactness of specifying the propagation path length.Development of algorithms for ionospheric
