Figure 25: TA: Geometry <strong>for</strong> computing the effective volume. We make two simplifications<br />
to the actual geometry. First, we assume flat Earth. Second, we assume<br />
that the VHF antenna rotation axes is along the y-axis in the figure, that is,<br />
perpendicular to the line from TA to the VHF antenna, which is our x-axis.<br />
The effective volume is computed using Eq. (96). Q is the center point of the<br />
common volume. P is a point in the computation grid. The angle χ is the<br />
angle between the polarization vector and the direction of the scattered wave.<br />
We did, by oversight, take χ to be constant over the whole computation grid.<br />
We did let the distances r 1 and r 2 to vary in the proper way, though.
