Over-the-Horizon Radar

6 questions · ~5 min · intermediate

Over-the-horizon radar sees targets thousands of kilometres away by bouncing signals off the ionosphere. Test your understanding of HF propagation, ionospheric physics, and the engineering challenges of OTH systems.

0 / 6

Why can HF frequencies (3 to 30 MHz) reach targets beyond the geometric horizon while microwave radar cannot?
