Title
A frequency selection method for HF-OTH skywave radar systems
Abstract
Functionality of a HF-OTH skywave radar is strongly dependent upon several factors. Firstly, the propagation channel is highly time-varying, secondly external radio noise is particularly severe and finally, the spectrum avail- ability is limited by the national plan of frequencies. In this paper we propose a frequency selection method that maxi- mizes the signal-to-noise ratio. The proposed method at- tempt to solve the aforementioned penalties by inspecting jointly the ionosphere and the external noise behaviour. The former is evaluated by means of simplified regional iono- spheric models, while the latter is estimated by considering the recommendation given in ITU's reports. A numerical simulation is used through the paper to ex- plain the method.
