Measurements of Short-Time Spectrum Occupancy for Ionospheric Propagation |

- Abstract:
- Results concerning short time spectrum occupancy in the 3-15 MHz spectrum range of the High Frequency band (3-30MHz) for a 24-hour period are reported. Measurements have been completed using an USRP equipment and a broadband HF antenna in February – March 2017. Results indicate that convenient free bandwidths exist for short time intervals. These free frequency intervals can be used for opportunistic transmissions in an emergency communications system. Spectrum occupancy measurements can also be considered by authorities when deciding on spectrum allocation.
