  • Page 66: Propagation Of Hf And Mf Radiowaves

    PROPAGATION OF HF AND MF RADIO WAVES OPERATION PROPAGATION OF HF AND MF RADIO WAVES Introduction The TRP 9250 is able to operate on frequencies from 1.605 MHz to 30 MHz. This frequency span covers the upper part of the MF range (0.3 - 3 MHz) and the whole HF range (3 - 30 MHz). In this wide frequency area the propagation properties of radio waves differs markedly from one edge to the other.
  • Page 67 OPERATION PROPAGATION OF HF AND MF RADIO WAVES Skywave propagation At frequencies between 5 MHz and 30 MHz long distance propagation is achieved by skywave propagation. Certain layers of the Earth’s upper atmosphere, in the Ionosphere, called the E-layer and the F1- and the F2-layers are able to act as a sort of mirror to the radio waves in the above mentioned frequency range.
