FIELD: the invention refers to the field of radiolocation and may be used for detection and definition of the configuration of ionized formations in the air.
SUBSTANCE: in the known mode including location of the source of sounding electromagnetic radiation of the prescribed, for example metric, range of the length of waves, before the reflecting surface, formation of a parallel beam due to interaction of radiation of the source with reflecting surface, geometrically imitating the surface of a solid of revolution, registration of response and definition of the coefficient of reflection of the radio signals from an object for, example from the field of formation of ions, the reflecting surface is formed due to polarization of air molecules with electromagnetic radiation on a definite frequency produced by an additional source of electromagnetic radiation. At that the outmost thickness of the polarized air molecules is achieved at influencing on the surrounding air with a beam of electromagnetic radiation of a gas laser, for example on CO2, and the reflecting surface is formed in the shape of the surface of a right cone. The arrangement for execution of the declared mode differs from the known ones by the fact that the antenna has at least two radiators, the unit of forming of a parallel beam of sounding radiation is fulfilled in the shape of a ring cylindrical laser on whose end face surface there is a ring optic prism. At that the first radiator is mounted on the antenna at an altitude from the plane of location of the laser, defined out of expression and each following -on a distance from each other divisible by the length of the wave, and the angle between the perpendicular to the inner surface of the ring prism and the axis of the unit of forming is equal to the angle between the lateral surfaces of the prism and is equal to the Brewster's angle for emission of the laser.
EFFECT: increases sensitiveness.
