	High frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The high frequency band is very popular with amateur radio operators, who can take advantage of direct, long-distance (often inter-continental) communications and the "thrill factor" resulting from making contacts in variable conditions.
		International shortwave broadcasting utilizes this set of frequencies, as well as a seemingly declining number of "utility" users (marine, aviation, military, and diplomatic interests), who have, in recent years, been swayed over to less volatile means of communication (for example, via satellites), but may maintain HF stations after switch-over for back-up purposes.
		This is due to the frequencies on which BPL operates (typically corresponding with the HF band) and the tendency for the BPL "signal" to leak from power lines.

	HF Radiation - Choosing the right frequency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The MUF is proportional to the critical frequency and the secant (equal to 1/cosine) of the incident angle.
		Therefore the MUF is higher with a higher critical frequency and with a larger angle from vertical.
		For horizontal transmissions, the equivalent parameter is the maximum usable frequency (MUF).

		The amount of radio wave bending depends on the extent of penetration (which is a function of frequency), the angle of incidence, polarization of the wave, and ionospheric conditions, such as the ionization density.
		The Lowest Usable Frequency (LUF) is that frequency in the HF band at which the received field intensity is sufficient to provide the required signal-to-noise ratio for a specified time period, e.g., 0100 to 0200 UTC, on 90% of the undisturbed days of the month.
		Frequency of Optimum Transmission (FOT): In the transmission of radio waves via ionospheric reflection, the FOT is the highest effective frequency (or best working frequency) for a given path that is predicted to be usable for a specified time for a percentage of the days of the month.

		Maximum usable frequency is important for determining the best HF frequency to use in communicating between two locations, for example between Los Angles and Denver.
		Maximum usable frequency is still important to amateur radio operators interested in scheduling contacts with distant friends, communicating with a specific country, and in operating regional ARES/RACES HF emergency communication circuits.
		Maximum usable angle is derived by solving the maximum usable frequency equation for A. Thus the maximum usable angle is equal to:

	Frequency selection considerations
		This frequency is known as the MAXIMUM USABLE FREQUENCY (muf).
		Likewise, atmospheric noise is greater at lower frequencies; thus, a low-frequency radio wave may have an unacceptable signal-to-noise ratio.

	HF Propagation
		The highest frequency which may be used for reliable HF communications is known as the Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF).
		This layer reaches maximum ionization when the sun is at its highest point in the sky and this layer is also responsible the complete absorption of sky waves from the 80m and 160m amateur bands as well as the AM broadcast band during the daytime hours.
		The maximum ionization of the F2-layer is usually reached one hour after sunrise and it typically remains at this level until shortly after sunset.

	Ionospheric perturbations
		The MUF represents the statistical frequency during which a 3000 km-single hop refraction via the F2-layer is generally open 50% of the time.
		The MUF is used to define the uppermost frequency that is reflected by the F-layer at a distance of 3000 km from the transmitter.
		As there is no predicting chart for a frequency according to the altitude of shortwaves, amateurs can only estimate their chance to work (or to listen to) a far station in using the MUF or FOT and checking ionosondes charts like the one displayed at right that gives the status of the ionospheric layers.

		The maximum usable frequency is a term used to describe the highest frequency that can be bounced off of the ionosphere at a particular time.
		Because most High Frequency signals generally cannot bounce off of the atmosphere, a higher maximum usable frequency means these HF frequencies on the HF bands will also be reflected.
		It is most often weak, faint, and distorted, coming in on a frequency very close to the maximum usable frequency.

		As the frequency is increased a point is reached where the signal will pass right through the layer, and on to the next one, or into outer space.
		As the frequency of a transmission is reduced further reflections from the ionosphere may be needed, and the losses from the D layer increase.
		However it should be remembered that the MUF will change significantly according to the time of day, and there fore it will be necessary alter the frequency periodically to take account of this.

	High Frequency Radio Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		High frequency radio (commonly known as short wave radio) is a means of communication in which a radio wave signal is transmitted from one point to the ionosphere, where it is reflected back down to another point on earth.
		The term "high frequency" refers to the number of radio waves transmitted per second, and simply serves to distinguish this type of system from those which transmit at higher or lower frequencies.
		The optimum working frequency and lowest usable frequency, based on these, are displayed on the computer monitor and could also be printed.

		The lower the frequency, the greater the degree of signal absorption.
		During early afternoon, incoming photoionizing solar radiation is at a maximum, so the D- and F-layers are strong and the LUF and MUF are elevated.

	M(3000)F2, the maximum usable frequency factor. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		M(3000)F2 is defined as the ratio of the maximum usable frequency at a distance of 3000 km to the F2 layer critical frequency, foF2.
		This parameter represents the optimum frequency at which to broadcast a signal that is to be received at a distance of 3000 km.
		Since the value calculated is sensitive to the shape of the ionogram trace as the curve approaches the F2 critical frequency, an automated calculation is likely to be much more sensitive to small changes in the gradient of the curve.

		Normally, an estimate of the frequencies expected to have efficient ionospheric support 90 percent of the time, FOT, and those having efficient ionospheric support 50 percent of the time, MUF, are adequate estimates of upper frequency limits for planning.
		The maximum usable frequency (MUF) calculations are a description of the state of the ionosphere between two locations on the earth and not a statement on the actual performance of any operational communications circuit.
		The reason is, the MUF calculations do not include any "system parameters", such as antenna, or transmit power or man-made noise at the receiver location.

	Owning the weather in 2025 - Military Applications of Weather Modification (appendix) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The interaction of the ionosphere on impinging electromagnetic radiation depends on the properties of the ionospheric layer, the geometry of transmission, and the frequency of the radiation.
		This range, between the maximum usable frequency (MUF) and the lowest usable frequency (LUF), is where radio waves are reflected and refracted by the ionosphere much as a partial mirror may reflect or refract visible light.
		At these higher frequencies, radio waves propagate through the ionosphere with only a small fraction of the wave scattering back in a pattern analogous to a sky wave.

		He presented scaling arguments that suggested that the cooling and associated composition changes could lower the E- and F2-layer peaks in the ionosphere by about 2 km and 20 km respectively, but that the predicted changes in the E- and F2-layer peak electron densities would be small.
		He also showed that changes in the ``maximum usable frequency'' for radio propagation would also be small for the trace gas doubling scenario.
		The change in the height of the F2-layer and the change in critical frequency of the F2-layer between the two cases were also calculated.

		The MUF for the given 4,000 km path is then determined at the midpoint of the desired path.
