Ax.25 Packet Radio Communications Using Meteor Scatter Propagation
نویسنده
چکیده
Among radio amateurs digital meteor burst communication has been discussed for many years. Despite this, no experiments on amateur basis have (to the knowledge of the author) been performed in Sweden or elsewhere in the world. During the past two years several amateurs have reported the random appearance of AX.25 packets from very distant stations. The propagation of these packets can only be explained by meteor scatter reflections. This supports the idea to exploit these reflections for packet radio links.

This paper presents the design and successful implementation of a local area network bridge based on the link layer AX.25 packet radio protocol and the AppleTalk Personal Network on the Macintosh computer. Opera&d as a duplex communication channel between interconnected networks of computers, the packet radio system provides the transmission of the network layer data packets. A working prototyp...
متن کاملMore experiments with Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networking over AX.25 Networks
Previously the authors gave an overview of a Delay Tolerant Network Convergence Layer implementation that operates over Connected Mode AX.25, and detailed the results of some performance tests using it to transfer data over Amateur Radio channels. These results were compared to both a native AX.25 and a TCP/IPover-AX.25 implementation. The investigation of TCP/IP was undertaken because, while i...
متن کاملOn forward scatter of radio waves from meteor trails
In this paper, a new approach to forward scatter of radio waves from meteor trails is exposed. The attention is drawn to some macroscopic characteristics of a meteor plasma and it is shown that electron-ion collision frequency is not negligible, as commonly thought. A simple formula for calculations of radio waves maximum attenuation after the forward scattering is also pre-
متن کاملOn the meteor height from forward scatter radio observations
It is known from theory that, by means of a plasma physics approach, it is possible to obtain a simple formula to calculate the approximate height of a meteor (Foschini, 1999). This formula can be used in case of forward scatter of radio waves and has the advantage that it does not depend on the diffusion coefficient. On the other hand, it is possible to apply the formula to a particular type o...

The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that experiments have already shown the practicability of utilizing the frequency band between 30 and 50 MHz for transmission by meteor-burst propagation to distances well beyond the horizon; b) that systems using this mode of propagation are already in service for burst data transmission, recommends 1. that Annex 1 be used as guidance for the...
