Forecasting High-Frequency Radio Communications Based on GLONASS/GPS Navigation System Data

摘要

The paper considers the possibility of forecasting high-frequency (HF) radio communications based on GLONASS/GPS navigation satellite system data. The authors comparatively analyze the the calculation data for the maximum usable frequencies for short- (100 km) and medium-range (800 km) HF radio communications. Good agreement of the calculated data has been obtained using the results of probe measurements and the hardware-software complex (HSC) for monitoring the ionosphere. It is shown that real-time HSC monitoring of the ionosphere parameters allows successful assessment of the current propagation conditions of HF radio waves.
