A Multiple Use MF/HF Radio Array for Radio Research, Development, and Education

Abstract

We have completed the purchase of a medium and high-frequency (MF/HF, 0.3 to 30 MHz) radio receiving system for the Interamerican University Aguadilla Campus in northwest Puerto Rico. The system has five primary uses: (1) Direction-finding radio emission observations and radar imaging studies of the ionosphere. (2) Imaging and spectral and temporal study of ionospheric radio emissions. (3) Oblique-angle radio emission observations and multiple bistatic radar observations. (4) Development and application of novel antenna techniques. (5) Use in a wide range of inspiring high school and university-level student projects.
