Distribution of the Strength of the Low-Frequency Field Demodulated in the Disturbed Lower Ionosphere over the Earth Surface

The possible distribution of the field strength of the low-frequency demodulated radiation of the high-power transmitter of the HAARP station (Alaska, USA) over the Earth surface in the Earth–ionosphere waveguide has been numerically simulated. It has been shown that, owing to the extremely weak electromagnetic coupling between the ionosphere and the waveguide in the case of an ionospheric source, the strengths of the electric and magnetic fields of the waveguide waves are relatively low and are at the level of the low-frequency noise even in the immediate vicinity of the center of the distribution. It has been confirmed that, in order to detect such a signal and measure its parameters, it is necessary to use special procedures for processing data from ground-based receivers.
