Ionosound is a HF radar system with the ability to monitor changes in the ionosphere layer of the atmosphere by transmitting electromagnetic pulses to the ionosphere and receiving their reflections. The process of analyzing the received signals requires advanced technology in hardware configuration as well as accurate and fast data processing techniques to finally paint a clear picture of the ionospheric characteristics. This low-cost and accurate scientific instrument extracts real-time data and parameters from the reflected signals by executing precise measurements and calculations.
Ionosound offers its advantages through compact & low-weight Transmitter/Receiver structures and easy-to-use software in order to provide a distinctively efficient product to the market. Moreover, unlike similar systems, the researchers are provided with a wide variety of electromagnetic pulse parameters such as amplitude, bandwidth, modulation, duty cycle and … to choose from depending on research considerations.
