Application perspective of Qujing incoherent scatter radar acting as a high power source at 500MHz

The Incoherent Scatter Radar is the most powerful tool to measure the ionosphere on the ground. Its high power output provides us a unique opportunity in some research fields more than the ionosphere sounding. The potential application perspective of the QJISR (25.6°N, 103.8°E), the first one in China, acting as the high power source is described including the bi- or multi-static receiving of signal scattered from the troposphere, ionosphere, space debris, meteoroid etc.
