Radio Propagation Prediction for HF Communications

Abstract: The refraction and apparent reflection of HF radio waves by the ionosphere enables long range HF radio communications. The ionosphere is a distinctly irregular medium that is mostly driven by solar activity. Ionospheric models are useful in the prediction of ionospheric behaviour and in the provision of data required for the analysis and forecasting of ionospheric propagation. This paper provides a compact review of HF radio propagation prediction techniques and approaches for HF communications. The paper also… Show more

“…The frequency from the specified set with the maximum signal to noise ratio (S/N), which also satisfies the specified minimum take-off angle, the required S/N ratio, and the probability level. The BUF graph for each hour is selected by the frequency set user and determined on the basis of ionospheric conditions and the user-specified system details [10].…”

“…If the Solar Flux Index (SFI) increases, the layer's ionization will increase , causing the critical frequencies for these layers to increase too which makes higher frequencies transmitted diffract back to earth again [1]. According to eq (1) as the transmitted frequency increases, the more time it takes to fly in the ionosphere layers before getting refracted back to earth and hence ground distance increases [2,3]. To make a radio contact successfully on HF between two points, if a frequency is greater than the Maximum Usable Frequency ( MUF), the signal will penetrate the ionosphere and escape to space and never come back to earth again ,so the working frequency must be less than the MUF and is called the Frequency of Transmission (FOT) [4].…”

“…The A parameter is a linear variable that represents the magnetic field of the earth. The previous papers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] focused on the comparison of prediction programs at different geomagnetic circuits and different solar activity without mention to the Iraqi HF circuit link, while [11,12] studied the ionospheric parameters for Iraq's zone only when solar winds were at their maximum. The novelty of this work is studying and comparing the propagation prediction for the HF circuit link from Iraq to the world at the solar wind's minimum using the Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program (VOACAP), ITU Recommendation RS 533 (REC533), and real radio contact during August 2018; and also to find which modulation is preferred digital mode like FT8 [13] or analogue.…”
