Development of remote HF wave receiver in the backlobe direction of the SuperDARN Hokkaido East radar: Initial observations
We have been operating remote high frequency (HF) wave receivers for the SuperDARN Hokkaido East radar in Nagoya (1092 km away from the radar) and Rikubetsu (a few tens of m away from the radar antenna) since 2014 to monitor the ionospheric environment and its changes. One receiver set consists of a...

| description | We have been operating remote high frequency (HF) wave receivers for the SuperDARN Hokkaido East radar in Nagoya (1092 km away from the radar) and Rikubetsu (a few tens of m away from the radar antenna) since 2014 to monitor the ionospheric environment and its changes. One receiver set consists of a USRP-N210 receiver unit, Ubuntu Linux PC and dipole/loop antenna. Using the remote receiver data it is possible to monitor the upward/downward motion of the ionosphere at the ionospheric reflection point of the HF radar backlobe beams emitted toward the Nagoya area. The usage of the SuperDARN (backlobe) beams has the following advantages over other instruments such as HF Doppler systems: (1) SuperDARN Backlobe beams also have high directivity, so that it is possible to observe strong echoes at the remote area more than 1000 km away from the radar. (2) Since the SuperDARN radars emit pulse waves instead of continuous waves, it is possible to identify the travel time from the radar to the receiver. The initial results of the observation of ionospheric perturbations using the remote HF wave receiver of the SuperDARN Hokkaido East radar are described. journal article |
