We present techniques and algorithms for automatic processing and interpretation of data of ionospheric backscatter sounding (BS) using a continuous chirp signal. Experimental ionograms are processed based on data filtration with further compression using the cellular automaton method. Interpretation of signals in a backscatter ionogram is carried out by calculating the backscatter leading edge. Slightly changing ratios of frequency dependences for group characteristics of oblique sounding and BS signals in various heliogeophysical conditions are used. Parameters of radio wave propagation are calculated within the waveguide approach using the International Reference Ionosphere model. The results of interpretation for a BS ionogram allow quick determination of maximum usable frequencies, from which characteristics of oblique sounding signals are corrected for given radio paths in the sounding sector of interest.

“…A determining factor in the real-time prediction of radio channel characteristics is the automation of secondary processing and analysis of processing diagnostic information about HF radio channel conditions. Ionogram processing includes the following stages [Grozov et al, 2012;Ponomarchuk et al, 2012;Grozov et al, 2013]: a) ionogram preprocessing in order to remove noise from an image and improve amplitude characteristics; b) data compression allowing a significant reduction in their volume without appreciable loss of useful information.…”

“…The actual OIS DFC at the current time is restored from the predicted one by multiplying β by f m [Kurkin et al, 1993;Grozov et al, 2012]. Figure 3 shows the results of the recalculation of estimated OIS DFC of the 1F2 mode to actual signal delays at the distance grid from MUF, restored from the current BIS DFC presented in Figure 2.…”

Backscatter ionospheric sounding (BIS) is a powerful tool for monitoring and predicting conditions of operation of HF communication systems. The BIS method is adopted to determine coverage areas of radio waves and maximum usable radio frequencies, distance along the ground to a scatterer, as well as to gain information about ionospheric structure and conditions. To solve these problems, we propose a method for direct diagnostics of HF radio channel at the leading edge of BIS signals on ionograms. The method relies on real-time automatic processing and interpretation of BIS ionograms. We present algorithms for determining the maximum usable frequencies and characteristics of oblique sounding signals from current BIS data, without correcting ionospheric parameters. We realize the algorithm for recovering ionospheric parameters at the path midpoint.

“…Наиболее широко распространенный подход связан с решением так называемых обратных задач, когда из данных ВНЗ ионосферы определяются ее количественные параметры. Как правило, в качестве измеряемых характеристик используются задержки зондирующего сигнала, соответствующие переднему фронту сигнала ВНЗ Fridman et al, 2012;Norman et al, 2013;Feng et al, 2016]. Использование таких методов обычно требует больших временных затрат на ЭВМ, что значительно снижает возможности использования средств ВНЗ для контроля условий работы на коротковолновых трассах.…”

Backscatter ionospheric sounding (BIS) is a powerful tool for monitoring and predicting conditions of operation of HF communication systems. The BIS method is adopted to determine coverage areas of radio waves and maximum usable radio frequencies, distance along the ground to a scatterer, as well as to gain information about ionospheric structure and conditions. To solve these problems, we propose a method for direct diagnostics of HF radio channel at the front edge of BIS signals on ionograms. The method relies on real-time automatic processing and interpretation of BIS ionograms. We present algorithms for determining the maximum usable frequencies and characteristics of oblique sounding signals from current BIS data, without correcting ionospheric parameters. We realize the algorithm for recovering ionospheric parameters at the path midpoint.
