HF communications are used as a last means of long distance communications without any relay node in NLOS (Non Line-Of-Sight) environment. Conventional analog voice communication in the HF band is vulnerable to security as well as severe background noise. To overcome these shortcoming, digital voice was introduced into HF radios in the early 1980s. In this paper, we analyze avaliable digital voice communication ground wave range of HF radios that applied MELPe CODEC and MIL-STD-188-110B physical layer standard using GRWAVE program. And we evaluate usefulness of digital voice communication in HF band.

The new channel model for high data rate common data link(CDL) is proposed. The Two-ray channel, which is composed of the reflected signals on the front ground of the receiver, is considered in this paper. This channel arises due to the curvature of the earth when the altitude of the transmitter is tens of kilometers and distance between the transmitter and the receiver is hundreds of kilometers. The Two-ray channel is modeled by estimating the maximum delay profile and the power delay profile, depending on the transmitting and receiving beamforming angle and the radiation pattern of antenna. The power delay profile has a larger effect on the bit error rate(BER) over signal to noise ratio(SNR) than the maximum delay profile, because the distance range is too long in the proposed channel model.

The mini-weather buoy using newly developed Weather Observation Through Ambient Noise (WOTAN) technology is developed. The buoy uses the cellular phone system for communication between the mini-weather buoy and the receiving station. The developed mini-weather buoy was deployed near Kijang and the comparison with land observation station was good: the rms error for wind speed estimation from underwater ambient noise was about 1 m/s. The only shortcoming of developed mini-weather buoy is that the buoy must be within the range of the cellular phone system, but it can be easily solved when satellite phone system is available.
