<i>Letter to the Editor:</i> SCIPION, a new flexible ionospheric sounder in Senegal

SCIPION is a new state of the art digital sounder that has been devoloped by France Telecom-CNET for ionospheric monitoring and research. Extensive data processing using DSP technology has resulted in a low power, low cost and full featured system for both vertical and oblique soundings. A SCIPI...
