Abstract: We consider the statistics on the envelopes of interference and signal plus interference in the output voltage of the demodulator in the MF radar receiver. The spacedantenna drift radar technique for dynamic studies of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere in a region of 70 to 120 km are described and the results are presented. Our results adequately represent physical processes in the lower ionosphere and are in agreement with other observational data.
