Scatter Propagation

</dt>
Specifically, the long-range propagation of radio signals by scattering due to index of refraction inhomogeneities in the lower atmosphere. Also called tropospheric propagation. </dd>
Recognition of this process and the development of specialized equipment (basically, more powerful transmitters and sensitive receivers) has greatly increased the range of VHF and UHF communication. The over-all technique is known as scatter communication. [[/a>|/a> ]]
