A tutorial on frequency adaptive communication systems in the HF bands
In this issue
Frequency adaptive communication systems (also known as “HF adaptive Systems”) first appeared in the 1980s and have been developed because of the unique characteristics of HF communications and its increasing requirement for stable and reliable communication. This Handbook is a tutorial that explains the development and deployment of HF adaptive systems, describes the essential parts of an adaptive network, and addresses relevant regulatory and operational considerations from today.
