The transmission of messages is a complex process, which is largely determined by the properties of the radio channel used. Decameter radio channels are the most difficult for organizing communication, since the ionospheric propagation of radio waves is associated with their significant attenuation, due to the significant length of the paths, as well as the presence of Rayleigh fading in the channel. However, the possibility of transmitting information over long distances without serious resource costs stimulates further research to improve the reliability of decameter radio communication. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of increasing the noise immunity of frequency-shift keying transmissions of decameter radio channels in conditions of unintentional interference due to the use of broadband signals. An analytical expression of the dependence of the probability of a bit error on the level of the ratio of the peak signal power to the peak interference power is considered; a graph of this dependence is presented. It is shown that the plot is consistent with the overall noise immunity estimate for Rayleigh fading channels using double FSK signals. The rationality of methods for obtaining the required reception quality in decameter radio channels is analyzed. It is shown that the most rational direction for increasing the noise immunity of FM-2 transmissions in decameter radio channels with Rayleigh fading in conditions of unintended interference is the use of broadband signals. In this case, for expansion, it is advisable to choose a value kf = 7, which makes it possible to increase the noise immunity by 9 dB. The conclusions are illustrated by graphs.

We present the forecast results of maximal usable frequencies for mid-latitude paths on the base of complex We present the results of forecasting maximum usable frequencies (MUF) on middle-latitude paths on the basis of complex algorithm including modules of the ionosphere and plasmasphere global model (IPGM) and the model of radio wave propagation. The computation of propagation characteristics for decameter radio waves is carried out within the framework of normal wave technique. IPGM developed in ISTP SB RAS enables to compute electron concentration profiles and effective frequency of collisions using minimum number of input data and taking into account physical processes in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. To estimate the efficiency of using IPGM in long-term forecast of radio wave propagation we computed MUF for radio communication in various heliogeophysical conditions. To obtain precision characteristics of MUF forecast we used experimental data of oblique sounding on Magadan–Irkutsk, Khabarovsk–Irkutsk, Norilsk–Irkutsk paths. The paths are equipped with modern ionosphere diagnostic hardware for oblique sounding by continuous chirp signal. We also compared results of MUF forecast using IPGM with computations carried out according IRI model.


The propagation of long waves at great distances has been studied in great detail by Austin, by Round, Eckersley, Tremellen, and Lunnon, by Espenschied, Anderson, and Bailey, and by Yokoyama and Nakai. Thus the propagational characteristics of long waves, considered merely as channels of communication, are well known. There have remained, however, a number of unexplained directional effects of which one might quote as an example the difficulty, noticed by Round, Eckersley, Tremellen, and Lunnon, of receiving signals whose great circle path traversed the earth’s magnetic poles. Pronounced directional effects at short distances have been reported by Naismith. He found that the intensity of the space wave from GKB, Northolt, was approximately twice as great at Manchester as at Exeter although both receiving points are at the same distance from the transmitter. At Manchester the receiver was north of the sender, while at Exeter the direction was west.
