Abstract

Measurements of wideband medium frequency atmospheric noise have been made over the past several years in the southwestern United States. In part 1 of a two‐part paper the measurement and data transcription system and the statistical analysis software used to analyze the data are presented. Specific results given in part 1 include the temporal structure of the noise and the distribution and time variation of the measured average noise power. In part 2, representative first‐ and higher‐order statistics and the impact of the data on bandwidth and system performance are described. Specifically, bit error rate simulations of a coherent receiver operating in either modeled or measured atmospheric noise are presented.
