1 Chapter 6 Propagation Al Penney VO1NO
2 Objectives To become familiar with: Classification of waves wrt propagation; Factors that affect radio wave propagation; and Propagation characteristics of Amateur bands. Propagation How signals get from Point A to Point B.
3 Waves Transverse Vibration is at right angles to direction of propagation, e.g.: guitar string Longitudinal Vibration is parallel to direction of propagation, e.g.: sound waves
4 Electromagnetic (EM) Waves Transverse waves Consist of Electric and Magnetic components: In phase with each other; and At right angles to each other. Orientation of Electric field determines Polarization.
5
6 Classification of Waves Ionosphere Skywave (HF) Surface or Ground Wave (VLF, LF, MF, HF) Direct (VHF, UHF) Reflected
7 Classification of Waves Radio Waves Space Waves Skywave Reflected Ground Waves Direct Surface
8
9 Ionosphere 50 to 600 km above Earth s surface. Atmosphere very thin. Ultraviolet (UV) light, X-rays and cosmic radiation from Sun ionize molecules and atoms, a process called Ionization. Ionized particles concentrate into 4 distinct layers D, E, F1 and F2. Layers change density and height due to Recombination.
10 Ionization Recombination
11
12 D Layer Innermost layer. Approximately 50 80km altitude. Dense in daylight, disappears at night. Not useful for long-distance propagation. Absorbs signals below approximately 10 MHz.
13 E Layer First to be discovered. Approximately 90 to 120 km altitude. Almost disappears at night. Usually does not play a part in long distance propagation. Sporadic E can reflect signals on 6M and 2M however.
14 F Layer Highest layer. Approximately 150 to 600 km altitude. Responsible for most long-distance propagation on HF. Often 1 layer at night, breaking into 2 in daylight (F1 and F2).

20 Skip Zone and Skip Distance Skip Zone The area between the furthest reach of the Ground Wave and the point where the Sky Wave is first refracted back to Earth. No signal is heard in the Skip Zone. Skip Distance The minimum distance reached by a signal after refraction or reflection by the Ionosphere.

26 Solar Cycles
27 Solar Cycle Periodic change in Sun s activity and appearance. Includes: Number of sunspots; Level of solar radiation; and Ejection of solar material. 22/11 year cycle.
28 Sunspots Dark spots on the Sun s surface. Caused by intense magnetic activity that inhibits convection flow of Sun s interior. They host secondary phenomena such as Solar Flares and Coronal Mass Ejections.

31 Effect on Propagation Low solar activity = less ionization; Higher frequencies pass through ionosphere into space. High solar activity = more ionization; Higher frequencies refracted back to earth, and at greater distances.
32 Propagation 160M 1.8 to 2.0 MHz Only Amateur band in MF region. Generally noisy, especially in summer. Daytime: D layer absorption local comms only, 100 km max. Nighttime: Several thousand km possible Greyline propagation
33 Propagation 80M 3.5 to 4.0 MHz Very popular band. D layer absorption in daylight, max 400 km. Several thousand km possible at night. Many regional nets in early evening.
34 Propagation 40M 7.0 to 7.3 MHz Similar to 80M, but overall greater distances possible. Worldwide communications at night.
35 Propagation 30M 10.1 to MHz CW and digital modes only. WARC band km during day. Worldwide distances at night. Less static than 160, 80 and 40M. Look for WWV and WWVH on 10 MHz.
36 Propagation 20M 14.0 to MHz Most popular DX band! Worldwide communications. Open around the clock at solar max. Open in daytime at solar minimum. Look to east in morning, and west later in day.
37 Propagation 17M to MHz WARC Band. Good DX band. Generally similar to 20M. No contesting allowed.
38 Propagation 15M 21.0 to MHz Popular DX band. Open round the clock at solar maximum. Daytime band as solar flux declines. Can be dead during solar minimum. Can get Sporadic E in summer and December.
39 Propagation 12M to MHz WARC Band. Excellent DX band at solar maximum. Similar to 15M and 10M. No contesting allowed.
40 Propagation 10M 28.0 to 29.7 MHz Last Amateur band in HF region. Has HF and VHF characteristics. Outstanding DX possible anytime at solar max. Band often dead at solar minimum. Sporadic E possible in summer and December. Monitor beacons to find openings.
41 Critical Frequency The highest frequency that, if directed vertically upward, will be refracted back to Earth by an ionized layer. Also called the Penetrating Frequency.
42 Critical Frequency Ionosphere Critical Frequency and below are reflected back to Earth Frequencies > Critical pass through Ionosphere
43 Maximum Usable Frequency Known as MUF The highest frequency that will be refracted back to Earth by ionized layers over a specified path at a specified time. Above this frequency the signals land beyond the station, or travel into space. Depends on solar activity, time of day, time of year, and the location of the two stations.
44
45 2000 k m 2000 km 4000 km For E layer distances of 2000km, MUF = 5 x Critical Frequency For F layer distances of 4000km, MUF = 3 x Critical Frequency
46
47 Lowest Usable Frequency Known as LUF. The lowest frequency at which communications are possible over a given path at a specified time 90% of the undisturbed days of the month. The amount of energy absorbed by the D layer directly impacts the LUF. Based on signal to noise ratio, so exact frequency depends on mode, power, antenna gain etc.
48
49 Optimum Working Frequency A frequency approximately 15% less than the MUF that provides usable communications 90% of the time. Abbreviated FOT
50 Solar Flux A measure of radio energy emitted by the Sun. Considered to be one of the best ways to relate solar activity to propagation. Measured at 2800 MHZ (bandwith 100 MHz) at the Dominion Radio Astrophisical Observatory in Penticton, BC. At solar min, SF = 50 to 60 At solar max, SF = 200 or more
51
52
53 Fading Variations in received signal strength. Some reasons for these variations in signal strength: Daily changes in ionosphere s structure; Variations in shape/density of the ionosphere; Loss of signal due to multipath propagation; and Ionospheric disturbances.
54 Daily Changes
55 Shape/Density Variations
56 Multipath
57 Earth s Geomagnetic Field The magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior to where it meets the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun. Interaction with charged particles in the solar wind can affect propagation.
58
59 Ionospheric Disturbances Characterized by: Increased ionization in D Layer; Weakening or decomposition of F Layer; or Both.
60
61
62 Ionospheric Disturbances
63
64 K Index Quantifies disturbances in Earth s magnetic field. Quasi-logarithmic scale 0 to 9 1 = calm 5 or higher = geomagnetic storm Updated every 3 hours (8 measurements per day) Planet s K Index (Kp) is average of all observatories K Index around the world.
65 A Index Measure of daily level of geomagnetic activity. Values of 8 daily K indices at observatories around the world are used to calculate daily A Index for each observatory. Can range in value from 0 to 400 or so. 0 = very calm, while 400 = Very major magnetic storm! Planet s overall A Index (Ap) is average of A indices for all observatories around the world.
66 VHF / UHF Propagation In general, frequencies above 30 MHz not affected by ionosphere. Radio Horizon is actually ~ 1.15 x Visual Horizon. This is due to slight effect of refraction.
67
68 Sporadic E (Es)
69 Meteor Scatter
70 Auroral Propagation
71 Tropospheric Ducting / Inversion
72 Knife-Edge Refraction
73 Flat Terrain
74 Concrete Jungle
75 Moonbounce / EME
76 Tropospheric Scatter
77 Propagation 6M Mix between HF and VHF propagation. Long range F2 propagation during solar peak. Sporadic E 1500 to 3000 km, Jun and Dec. Some Aurora. Moonbounce becoming popular.
78 Propagation 2M Most popular Amateur band. FM and repeaters very common. Tropospheric ducting to several hundred km. Sporadic E not common, but possible. Meteor Scatter out to 1500 km or more. Most popular Moonbounce band. Also used for Amateur satellites. Aurora also possible.
79 Propagation 220 MHz Somewhat neglected band. Becoming more popular however. Propagation generally similar to 2M. Sporadic E is rare however.
80 Propagation 70cm First Amateur band in UHF spectrum. Tropospheric ducting primary DX mode. FM, repeaters, Amateur Television. Sporadic E and Aurora rare. All Amateur bands from 70cm to 10 GHz are shared with other services.
