Abstract
AN important consideration when designing an array of aerials to sample the diffraction pattern of a radio wave reflected from the ionosphere is to ensure that the results are not affected by mutual coupling. Signals reradiated from one aerial may be received by another, and this could affect the measured characteristics of the diffraction pattern. Any subsequent measurements (for example, of ionospheric drifts) would also be affected.
