A new methodology to accurately and efficiently examine the radio frequency blackout
phenomenon during the hypersonic reentry process is introduced and validated. The current …

Radio frequency blackout indicates the communication interruption between signal
monitoring sites and re-entry vehicles; it is a serious threat to the safety of astronauts and the …

A self-consistent calculation model of hypersonic fluid and electromagnetic wave (EM)
propagation around a vehicle was used for radio frequency (RF) blackout prediction. First …

One of the aims for modern hypersonic cruise flight is hypersonic global reach. The length of
route for such flights could be up to thousands of kilometers. The atmospheric conditions on …

Radio frequency (RF) blackout occurs during radio attenuation measurement C (RAMC)
