Implementation and comparison of a wideband HF noise and interference simulator

The present needs for more accurate modelling and simulation of the wideband HF channel motivate the development and implementation of wideband channel simulators. It has been showed that many HF communication systems may properly mitigate the ISI distortion of the HF channel, but it may perform badly under the HF noise and interference. In this paper, a software simulation of a wideband noise and interference system (NI) is described. The validity of the HF simulator is demonstrated by the analysis of the results of the simulator and comparisons with measured noise/interference. The comparisons of the model with measurements will be made with a variety of first and higher order statistics.
