  • Using High Frequency Propagation to Calculate Basic Maximum Usable Frequency
    Using High Frequency Propagation to Calculate Basic Maximum Usable Frequency Israa Abdualqassim Mohammed Ali* * University of Baghdad, College of Science, Baghdad, Iraq Received: XX 20XX / Accepted: XX 20XX / Published online: ABSTRACT A comparison between observed (obs.) digital ionospheric sounding data and predicted (pre.) using International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model for critical frequency (foF2) and Basic Maximum Usable Frequency (BMUF) of ionospheric F2-Layer has been made. A mid-latitude region selected for this research work by using data from station Wakkanai (45.38o N, 141.66o E). This study included 12 monthly median data from year (2001, R12=111) selected for high Sunspot number (SSN) and years for low SSN (2004, R12=44) and (2005, R12=29). Frequency parameters foF2 reveals that there is a good correlation between observed and predicted except for January of years 2001 and 2004, and BMUF revealed that there is a good correlation between observed and predicted for years of low SSN and all months except in month 1, 9 and 12 of year 2004, for year 2001 of high SSN there is a bad correlation. A correction factor as a function of time used from fitting technique to correct the predicted value with observed value of BMUF for year 2001. Keywords: Ionosphere; foF2; M3000F2; BMUF Author Correspondence, e-mail: [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION The maximum usable frequency (MUF) is important ionospheric parameter for radio users because of its role in radio frequency management and for providing a good communication 1 link between two locations (Athieno et al., 2015; Suparta et al., 2018).

    AN HF MULTITONE MODEM _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Electrical Engineering _______________ by Louis A. Rey Summer 2017 iii Copyright © 2017 by Louis A. Rey All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my wife, two daughters and all who have loved and supported me throughout this journey. v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS An HF Multitone Modem by Louis A. Rey Master of Science in Electrical Engineering San Diego State University, 2017 In today’s world, we can find signals being transmitted on every portion of the frequency spectrum from a few Hertz up to several Giga Hertz. Frequencies of upwards of 60GHz are common today. Although it is now common to operate in ever higher frequencies, High Frequency (HF) frequencies (3 to 30 MHz) enjoyed huge popularity during the advent of early long-range communication work. Before satellites were invented, it was the only means of transmitting information at long distances wirelessly. Initial work in the defense industry gave fruit to Multitone modems which were then superseded by single tone modems for both data and voice communications at 2400bps, 9600bps and 19400bps. With the growing popularity of digital signal processing and software radio, these modems are now easily implemented. This thesis revisits Multitone modems, also known as parallel tone modems, which use 16 and 39 tones for data and voice respectively. A comparison with modern communication systems will be explored. A description of the Modem sections will be created using MATLAB.

  • Observations of F-Region Critical Frequency Variation Over Batu Pahat, Malaysia, During Low Solar Activity
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UTHM Institutional Repository OBSERVATIONS OF F-REGION CRITICAL FREQUENCY VARIATION OVER BATU PAHAT, MALAYSIA, DURING LOW SOLAR ACTIVITY SABIRIN BIN ABDULLAH A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the award of the Doctor of Philosophy (Electrical) Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia JUNE 2011 ABSTRACT Wireless radio in the HF band still uses the ionospheric layer as the main medium for communication. Critical frequencies are important parameters of the ionosphere. Due to the activities of the sun, the critical frequency varies diurnally, following the pattern of day and night. The critical frequency for the Parit Raja station is determined using an ionosonde at latitude 1° 52' N and longitude 103° 48' E which is close to the geomagnetic equator at geographic latitude 5° N. This work analyses the dependence of the critical frequency during the solar minimum of Solar Cycle 23. The median critical frequency value is used to develop a model using regression and polynomial approaches because it is more accurate than using average values. From the observations, the critical frequency observed in 2005 is the highest, corresponding to a higher sunspot number of between 11 and 192. In contrast, the critical frequency is lower in 2007 due to the decrease in the sunspot number of between 11 to 63. The general trend of the daily critical frequency is 6.8 MHz to 12.0 MHz from 00:00 to 17:30 UTC and decreasing to 7.0 MHz from 18:00 to 23:00 UTC.

  • High Frequency Communications – an Introductory Overview - Who, What, and Why?
    High Frequency Communications – An Introductory Overview - Who, What, and Why? 12 April, 2012 Abstract: Over the past 60+ years the use and interest in the High Frequency (HF -> covers 1.8 – 30 MHz) band as a means to provide reliable global communications has come and gone based on the wide availability of the Internet, SATCOM communications, as well as various physical factors that impact HF propagation. As such, many people have forgotten that the HF band can be used to support point to point or even networked connectivity over 10’s to 1000’s of miles using a minimal set of infrastructure. This presentation provides a brief overview of HF, HF Communications, introduces its primary capabilities and potential applications, discusses tools which can be used to predict HF system performance, discusses key challenges when implementing HF systems, introduces Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) as a means of automating many HF systems, and lastly, where HF standards and capabilities are headed.

Correspondence to: Mariano Fagre ([email protected]) Abstract. The ionosphere is an anisotropic, dispersive medium for the propagation of radio frequency electromagnetic waves 15 due to the presence of the Earth’s intrinsic magnetic field and free charges. The detailed physics of electromagnetic wave propagation through a plasma is more complex when it is embedded in a magnetic field. In particular, the ground range of waves reflecting in the ionosphere presents detectable magnetic field effects. Earth’s magnetic field varies greatly, with the most drastic scenario being a polarity reversal. Here the spatial variability of the ground range is analyzed using numerical ray tracing under possible reversal scenarios. Pattern changes of the “spitze”, a cusp in the ray path closely related to the 20 geomagnetic field, are also assessed.

  • NTIA Technical Report TR-89-243 Spectrum–Conservation Techniques for Fixed Microwave Systems
    NTIA REPORT 89-243 SPECTRUM-CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES FOR FIXED MICROWAVE SYSTEMS ROBERT L. HINKLE ANDREW FARRAR U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Robert A. Mosbacher, Secretary Alfred C. Sikes, Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information MAY 1989 ABSTRACT Since the spectrum is a limited natural resource, the spectrum management community has a major interest in identifying spectrum conservation techniques that will provide more efficient spectrum utilization. Advances in new technology for fixed microwave systems in antennas, modulation schemes and signal processing techniques offer increased efficiency in spectrum utilization. This report analyzes the spectrum conserving properties of the various new technologies for fixed microwave systems applying the concepts in CCIR Report 662-2, and was defined as the spectrum conservation factor (SCF). The report concludes that the SCF technique is an effective indicator of the spectrum conserving properties of technologies which can be used to develop new spectrum standards.

    The Abstracts AMEREM 2018 EMC on Large Aircrafts: Computer Simulations to Assist a Full Scale Experiment Jean-Pierre Adam, Stéphane Vauchamp CEA, DAM, GRAMAT, F-46500 Gramat, France [email protected] Abstract — This paper presents the importance of The latter configuration required a large amount of computer simulations for an EMC experiment applied on computer resources. The mesh has to be fine enough to large aircrafts. An FDTD simulation tool has been used to accurately simulate the highest frequencies. A total of assist the design of the illumination system and to define about 6 billion of cells were needed. An example of output how it could be used. is presented in Fig. 3. Keywords — EMC, aircraft, FDTD simulation. I. INTRODUCTION The system presented here is very similar to the Artemis facility presented in Ref. [1]. It meets the same requirement: estimate the EMC coupling of large structures to assess the environment of critical components located inside those structures. The elongated shapes of the fuselage and the wings of an airliner may significantly resonate at the lower frequencies of the spectrum, but Figure 2. FDTD model including inner structures, materials, antennas, mainly for a horizontally polarized illumination. However, doors and cables. the Artemis facility is limited to vertical polarization. That is why a new illumination system with a horizontal polarization was needed. II. ILLUMINATION SYSTEM As shown on Fig. 1, the illumination system uses two very common antennas. These antennas have been simulated with the Gorf3D solver, based on the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method (FDTD). Figure 3. E field map at 5 m above the ground for the entire experiment where the aircraft is located at 80 m from the illumination system.
