Abstract :
High-latitude propagation phenomena, such as scatter from the aurora and sporadic- 
propagation, can alter the communication characteristics of the meteor communication channel. This paper describes an experiment in which the fading and multipath profiles of the high-latitude meteor communication channel were characterized. The effects of high-latitude propagation phenomena on the capacity and reliability of meteor burst communication are discussed.
