The measurement precision of ionospheric virtual height can be increased by measuring the variation of ionospheric echo's phase with scan frequency. This paper introduces the basic principle of ionospheric virtual height measurement based on ionospheric echo's phase and the basic measurement method of combined pulse echo' s phase, and does a series of experiments of ionospheric virtual height measurement. The experimental results show that the measurement precision of ionospheric virtual height is ten times higher by means of echo's phase method than time of arrival method. This is very important in accurate ionospheric electronic density profile inversion and ionospheric subtle structure research.
