The original studies presented in the monograph are based on a systematic analysis of published works in the field of meteor physics. Prognostic models and algorithms for estimating the characteristics of radio signals during bistatic scattering on an ionized meteor trail during its formation and development as well as the concept and technology for constructing a promising meteor radio communication system are proposed. The book may be useful to different categories of readers: scientists and designers involved in meteor radio communications, geophysicists studying the ionosphere in the meteor zone, astronomers searching for new relationships between meteoroids and their parent bodies, graduate students, university professors, and students.
