  • Abstract
    An analog tracking device has been constructed which continuously monitors the peak frequency and Q of the first (8 Hz) resonance mode of the earth-ionosphere cavity. The device employs a phaselock technique to keep a tracking filter tuned to the center frequency of the natural spectral peak. Data from the resonance mode tracker illustrate the response of the cavity resonance to ionospheric disturbances, and to the source-receiver geometry.
