Working Group 2 - Advanced terrestrial systems (Leaders: Prof E. Tulunay and Prof P. Lassudrie-Duchesne)

WP2.1 Radar and radiolocation (Leaders: Dr C. Bianchi and Dr E.M. Warrington)

• Ionospheric effects on surface-wave radar;

• Frequency management of ground-wave and sky-wave radars;

• Angle of arrival measurements for sky-wave signals.

WP2.2 HF/MF communications (Leaders: Prof J.M. Andujar and Dr P. Lassudrie-Duchesne)

• Digital radio systems – predictions, methods of estimating reliability;

• Wideband propagation modelling and development of a hardware simulator;

• Increased capacity of HF links through MIMO techniques;

• Gravity and planetary wave effects on propagation;

• Extension of existing wideband HF simulators to the MF band.

WP2.3 Spectrum management (Leaders: Prof L.W. Barclay and Prof A. M. Casimiro)

• Use of GPS to improve HF communications management;

• Adaptive waveform management;

• Effects of infrasound on radio propagation.
