DSP - Effects of MET Conditions on Radio Reception on the Aircraft used

Course Description

This course explores how meteorological conditions affect radio reception on aircraft, focusing on key propagation factors such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and interference. It discusses how environmental features like buildings and mountains influence signal reflection, and how refraction depends on frequency and ionization levels.

The course also covers diffraction and absorption effects, particularly at higher frequencies, and the impact of static electricity and weather phenomena on navigation aids like ADF and NDB.
