Microwave heating of the lower ionosphereChanges in the properties of the lower ionosphere due to ohmic heating of the plasma by the solar power satellite (SPS) microwave power beam are considered. The development of a predictive model of the underdense interaction of an electromagnetic beam and the lower ionosphere is described. The extent to which the Platteville and Arecibo experiments simulate SPS conditions is considered.
