|
also known as the Appleton layer extends from about 121 km to more than 500 km above the surface of Earth. The F layer consists of one layer at night,
but during the day, the F layer separates into the F1 and F2 layer responsible for most skywave propagation of radio waves, facilitating high frequency (HF, or shortwave) radio communications over long distances. |
|
|

|
|
|
Sampling and how it relates to Signals Collection
|
the collector cuts down the amount of data recorded without losing any of the actual information in the signal.

|
|
|
Discuss the three dimensions that make up an Information Environment
|
Physical: The real world environments of land, sea, air, and space. It is where individuals, organizations, information systems, and the physical networks that support them reside.
