Antenna alignment for radiometeoric synchronization systems

We consider questions of the orientation and tuning of radiometeoric synchronization complex (RMSC) antennas, taking into account path extension and area relief. Design data are obtained under the following assumptions: the troposphere is normal; the mean height of a meteoric trace is 95 km; the carrier frequency is that of the "METKA" RMSC signal; the surface of a reflecting region is horizontal and smooth; the elementary antenna has horizontal polarization.
