Analysis and Application of Meteor Burst Communication

In order to satisfy the increasing demand of valid communication methods in harsh conditions like remote places or disaster areas, this paper concentrates on meteor burst communication (MBC), which is a kind of communication technology transmitting radio through meteor trails. Meteor trail is the train remaining in the atmosphere after the passage of a meteor, forming ionized trails that can reflect radio waves. In this paper, through analyzing the principle, features, application conditions and developing trends of this technology, this paper concluded that meteor trail communication is a valid approach to link sites hard to communicate using other methods. Moreover, this paper points out some drawbacks that could be upgraded in the future, which means that MBC is able to improve its efficiency and adapt to more situations after ameliorating the existing problems. By summing up all those aspects of this technology, this paper aims to provide practical information to experts willing to improve MBC and inspire them so that a better communication network could be established with modified MBC system.
