Use of the SCIPION ionospheric sounder for different kinds of applications

SCIPION is a new state of the art digital sounder that has been developed by France Telecom-CNET for ionospheric monitoring and research. Extensive data processing using DSP technology has resulted in a low power, low cost and full featured system for both vertical and oblique soundings. In this paper, the system is briefly described and some illustrative examples of its capabilities are shown.
