[1] The three-dimensional mathematical field model of HF sky waves reflected by a spatially nonuniform nonstationary magnetoactive ionosphere is described. The model is based on the structural physical approach, which leads to complete understanding of the field structure in space and time associated with specific geomagnetic conditions.
A precise method of predicting high‐frequency propagation characteristics in magneto active spatially nonuniform ionosphere is described. The method is designed for planning and operating radio communication links ranging 50 … 6000 km at 2.0 … 30.0 MHz. For various seasons and sunspot numbers, the method is shown to be experimentally verified for short paths which constitute the most complex conditions for propagation. In experimental testing the method features prediction error comparable with instrumental error of about 2…3 dB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
