摘要

Alpha navigation transmitters are very low frequency (VLF) transmitters operating at mid-latitudes, which use a specific discrete radiation pattern at three distinct frequencies (11.9, 12.6,and 14.9 kHz). The transmitters are located in the northern hemisphere, but the radiated signals propagate through the magnetosphere to the conjugate hemisphere, where they are detectable by lowaltitude spacecraft. We present an analysis of such signals detected by the Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions spacecraft at an altitude of about 660 km. It is found that, due to a Doppler shift, the observed signal frequencies can be at times rather different than the radiated frequencies. This indicates wave propagation at large wave normal angles (close to the resonance cone). Simultaneous observations of the same signal with different Doppler shifts reveal three distinct ways of signal propagation: (i) ducted propagation, (ii) unducted propagation, and (iii) propagation interpreted as only partially ducted. A raytracing analysis is employed to obtain typical wave trajectories corresponding to the individual ways of signal propagation and respective Doppler shifts. A reasonable agreement between the observed and calculated Doppler shifts is obtained. Our results demonstrate the peculiarities of VLF signal propagation throughout the magnetosphere and the possibility of using Doppler shifts to estimate wave normal angles.
