81/25 Programs CORRISM, CORRTEST: System for Program Development and Software Simulation of EISCAT Digital Correlator, User's manual.: By Terrance HO
81/24 Scientific Programming of the EISCAT Digital Correlator (Revised): This report describes the basic philosophy of how to create special-purpose microprograms for the EISCAT digital correlator. By Terance Ho and Hans-Jørgen Alger
80/23 EISCAT Data Gathering and Dissemination: By Alan Farmer
80/22 EISCAT Experiment Preparation Manual: This manual is intended as a guide for the preparation of experiments to be run on the EISCAT radar. It documents software availability to run EISCAT experiments together with sufficient details about the EISCAT hardware to understand the software descriptions. By Joseph Armstrong
80/21 EISCAT VHF Antenna Tests: The report contains the main results of the measurements on the EISCAT VHF antenna during the RF acceptance tests in December 1979 and March 1980. By Per-Simon Kildal
80/20 Correlator Buffer-Memory for the EISCAT Radar System: Correlator buffer-memory is a device which is going to be used as input data-area for the EISCAT digital correlator. It consist of two memory data-parts which can be addressed simultaneously. So, the loading of data to the buffer-memory and reading to the correlator are total independent of each other. The buffer-memory has 8 program-counters which are programable from the computer. These counters are used for addressing while writing data from the filter and into the buffer. By Svein a. Kvalvik
79/19 Lectures for EISCAT Personnel - Volume I: Very popular early introduction to many things related to the ionosphere and incoherent scatter By Kristen Folkestad (EISCAT's first Technical Director)
79/18 A Program Library for Incoherent Scatter Calculation: This report describes in detail all the routines of the library fot EISCAT data analysis, a part of which has already been implemented in real time at Kiruna. By G. Lejeune
79/17 EISCAT Digital Correlator - Test Manual
79/16 Errors in Incoherent Scatter Radar Measurements: By John Murdin
79/15 A Description of the Assembly Language for the EISCAT Digital Correlator: By Bård Willy Törustad
79/14 Transmitter Polarization Control in the EISCAT UHF System: By Tor Hagfors
79/13 EISCAT UHF Geometry: The geometry of the EISCAT system is described together with computer programmes used to evaluate required parameters. BY J. Murdin
79-12
79/11 A Programmable Correlator Module for the EISCAT Radar System: By Hans-Jørgen Alker
79/9 Program Corrism: System for Program Development and Software Simulation of EISCAT Digital Correlator - User's Manual: By Hans-Jørgen Alker
78/6 Discrete Phase Steering by Permuting Precut Phase Cables: The note describes a method to phase steer a linear array antenna to a discrete number of direction by rearranging the sequence of phase cables that are connected to each array element. The phase cables must be precut to specific lengths that are evaluated. By Per-Simon Kildal
78/5 Measurement Principles in the EISCAT System: This report reproduces the contents of the three first chapters of ""A Design Study of a Multibit, Digital Correlator for the EISCAT radar System"", A thesis by Hans-Jørgen Alker, November 1976.
78/4 The Bandwidth of a Linear Phased Array with Stepped Delay Corrections: The note discusses the bandwidth limitation which gradually developes as the beam is phased away from that beam direction which corresponds to the correct group delays. A scheme for the increase in antenna bandwidth by introducing group delay corrections in steps along the antenna aperture is then discussed and relations between the number of groups required for various bandwidths are developed. By T. Hagfors
78/3 The Effect of Ice on an Antenna Reflector: By T. Hagfors
78/2 Least Mean Square Fitting of Data to Physical Models: The note describes a general least mean square fitting procedure for adjusting parameters in a physical model to make the model predictious best fit the result of an observation. The method should find application to such EISCAT problems as the fitting of the theoretical spectra (or correlation functions) to the corresponding observations or to the deduction of antenna pointing deficiencies from radio astronomy observations. By T. Hagfors
77/1 Balance Between Investment in Reflector and Feed in the VHF Cylindrical Antenna: The note describes a method for evaluating the cost of the feeder system in such a way that the feed-investment is as cost effective as the investment in the mechanical structure. By P.S Kildal and T. Hagfors
