Ensuring the Stability of a Radio Communication System in Radio Jamming Conditions

Relevance. At the current stage, methods for improving the reconnaissance and interference immunity of HF radio communication systems are based on packet data transmission technologies in the adaptive pseudorandom frequency hopping mode. To support frequency hopping, service functions should be organized, such as route probing, transmission of operating frequencies to radio stations, and synchronization of radio stations, which usually use the frequency hopping range. Using the frequency resource of the radio communication systems for service purposes limits the possibility of exchanging operational information and increases the probability of suppression. The article presents a solution to the urgent problem of ensuring the stability of the radio communication systems through the use of meteor radio channels for frequency provision of radio stations and their synchronization and collecting current data on the interference situation at corresponding radio stations.

The purpose of the work is to increase the stability of the radio communication systems operation through the use of a promising ionospheric-wave and frequency dispatch service equipped with meteor radio communication tools. The methods used: imitation modeling of the conflict of complex systems: radio communication systems and electronic warfare systems.

The result consists in achieving high noise immunity of the radio communication systems.

The novelty consists in the use of meteor radio communication facilities for frequency provision and synchronization of radio stations.

Practical significance is ensuring the continuity of the radio communication systems operation under conditions of active radio suppression.
