Abstract
The optimum transmission of electromagnetic waves through a thin exponentially inhomogeneous plasma region is treated in this communication. Matched filter theory is used in obtaining integral expressions for optimum transmitted signals, which result in received signals that have the largest possible amplitude when transmitted through the plasma region. The fast Fourier transform algorithm is used in obtaining signal waveforms for a number of examples.
