New Algorithm of Ground Track Processing in High-Frequency Skywave Over- the-Horizon-B Radar

Abstract

In the paper, the concept pattern of the recognition-tracking-coordinate transformation data processor in HF skywave OTH-B radar is described. A new algorithm to determine the ground distance of a moving object from the time delay transformation of HF radar is proposed. Just the probe data obtained from only a single radar station are needed; there is no need to know the midpoint ionospheric data. The calculated ground track is compared with the actual track and the results show that the mean deviation is less than 4 percent.
