Abstract

Following an introduction to the radio meteor head echo and its historical aspects, a PC-based technique is described whereby the radio Doppler effect from meteor head echoes can be used to make rough meteor range and speed measurements, employing a commercial AM or CW transmitter in a forward-scatter link. The technique is then applied to four known shower meteors, two Leonid and two Geminid, which provided measurable head echoes in addition to specular trail reflections.
