LAN Based HF Radio Simulator: An Approach to Develop an
Early Prototype for Long-Distance Radio Communication
Md Rajib
Department of CSE, Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Dhaka, Bangladesh
ABSTRACT
Communication is considered one of the most decisive factors in
winning a battle. That’s why every nation is very well focused to
enhance its communication facilities. High Frequency (HF) radio
communication system is a major communication platform used for
long-distance communication not only for the military forces but also
for the law enforcing agencies across the globe. As these
communication paraphernalia are very erudite, sophisticated and
costly, therefore, rough handling of them during the training period
may create a lot of wear and tear. As a result, the equipment loses its
capability to work perfectly during actual need. Therefore, an
endeavor has been made through this paper to develop LAN-based
simulation software for HF radio sets commonly used by varied
combat forces and law enforcement agencies. In the order of
discussion, both qualitative and quantitative analyses have been
carried out through varied graphical illustrations. Various online
resources, government publications, administrative census were
consulted as primary and secondary data sources. This simulator-
based proto-type software will facilitate the use of HF Radio
equipment to have vigorous practice and necessary test and trial
without deploying the Radio sets on the ground and lessen the wear
and tear as well.

INTRODUCTION
1. Nowadays, most of the developed nations are
exploring array processors and digital signal
processing technologies to develop real-time,
software-based test equipment that simulates
high-frequency (HF) radio links. This system is
usually known as an HF Channel Simulator like
Floating Point Systems AP-120B array processor-
based HF radio simulator with wide-ranging
bandwidth capabilities and great flexibility in the
selection of link parameters available to the
user[1] All distortions are at least 50 dB below
the desired signal output level. However, these
simulators are very expensive.
2. In this paper, an endeavor has been made to
develop a user-friendly software-based High
Frequency (HF) Radio simulator and trainer of
radio sets with affordable cost employing simple
algorithm through which persons can practice
varied features of widely used HR radio sets at
any time. The software will have all the basic
functionality of a radio set. The communication
will be established through LAN. The basis of the
communication will be restricted within Half
Duplex mode which is more frequently used in
combat communication. Using this LAN-based
HF Radio Sumlator(LHRS), the person will have
a real-life experience of using a radio set within
the actual operational scenario. For a newbie[1]
an inexperienced newcomer to a particular
activity while handling a particular kind of HF
radio set for the first time, should not provide
complete access to configure the entire operating
modules of that radio set. Rather, if someone can
have a complete orientation on varied operating

features of a particular HF radio set through any
simulator-based platform, it will certainly be
more beneficial for him before handling the actual
equipment on the ground. Since all the latest HF
radio sets are fairly expensive and abstemiously
sensitive encompassing cutting-edge technology,
therefore, it will not be prudent to hand over these
affluent communication assets to the greenhorns'
operator for practicing. In another perspective, we
can say that most of the members of the armed
forces are not able to get ample real war
experiences in their lifetime. Therefore, in case of
emergency, problems might arise. So to mitigate
the issues we can give them war alike experiences
and tasks to make them battle-ready through the
proposed prototype HF radio Simulator shortly
termed as “LHRS”
3. Scope of The Study Scope The scopes of LHRS
are as follows:
3.1. To lessen the exhaustive physical use of the
original HF radios for training purposes
3.2. To enhance the training options and dynamics.
Facilitate to conduct simulator-based training
without the radio sets.
3.3. To simplify the training procedures of varied
kinds of HF radio and bringing them under the
same platform.
3.4. To incorporate a performance evaluation
database and keep track record of performance
of the operator as well as field test results
conducted in different scenarios
4. ObjectivesThe objectives of Radio Equipment
Simulator and Trainer are as follows:
4.1. To identify the requirements of using an HF
radio simulator.
4.2. To develop a simulator compatible with
widely used HF the radio sets
4.3. To formulate technical and operational
simulations.
4.4. To establish communication within HF radio
sets working under the same LAN.
Methodology
5. The methodology is illustrated in the figure-1 below. In this study, an endeavor has been made to implement
only basic SRS and USR with limited GUI features. A comprehensive effort is needed to implement the
proposed simulator with inclusive SRS and cosmic GUI features. This process also necessitates involving all
expert personals(Vendors of Radio sets, System designers, Coders, Combat Communication Engineers,
etc).The methodology of the study is illustrated in figure-1 below:

Literature Review
6. The aim and intent of this literature review are to explore and analyze the previous works on varied
software-based radio simulators. In the paper[1], L. G. Anderson proposed three algorithms based VHF radio
set simulator. In [2], the researcher developed an HF radio simulator on a voice band radio. The simulator
was made for operating in a single mood (Simplex mode).In [3], T.C Gills and I. Willoughby made an effort
to evaluate the viability of creating Ground to Air VHF radio simulator. In the overall implementation
process, they tried to use “Gaussian Power Spectrum Assumption” and Tap Gain Independence Assumptions
which was a great leap forward in the sector of radio simulators. The further illustration on literature review
emphasizing relevant factors are appended in table-1 below:

Requirement Elicitation
7. XXX. Requirement Elicitation also serves as a basis for preparing system attributes and various UI of
software used as GUI in proposed LRHS as intended. In addition,a comprehensive requirement elicitation
will also explore the scope and situations while practical use of radio equipment and to reveal the features
that need to be incorporated for developing a system to simulate the radio equipment which can be a trainer
too.
7.1. Users’ Requirement Specification An exhaustive survey (with both open and close-ended questionaries)
was conducted through an online survey platform (Google form) to identify the users' requirement
specifications. Twenty-five combat communicators participated in this regard. The evaluation and output
analysis was carried out through a weighted Matrix Method within a range of 5(four) marks where
Strongly agree(SA) is allotted with 5 marks. Subsequently Agree(A), Neutral(N), Disagree(DA) Strongly
Disagree(DA) are allotted with4, 3,2 and 1 marks respectively. In addition, users’ general comments and
observations on wide-ranging issues were collected and ensured via emails The glimpse of survey analysis

Designing Phase of LHRS: Software and UI
10. Software Design is the process of specifying a software artifact when it is created. This process is envisioned
to undertake implementation purpose and goals utilizing varied embryonic components and substance
constraints. In this study, two approaches were followed termed as “Physical Data Flow scheme ” and
“Logical Data Flow scheme”. The simple three-step operationalization flowchart of LHRS is illustrated in
figure-3 below:

11. Physical and Logical Data Flow Diagram A physical data flow diagram characterizes the physical
modules with necessitating properties required to fabricate the overall system. On contrary, A logical data
flow diagram establishes the necessary link among those physical components. The physical and logical data

12. Designing Tools In the design part, picking up apposite tools is very crucial. After the appropriate tools have
been designated, the system engineer/ program writer maystart working with the implementation phase. The
tools and environment of the proposed LHRS are described below:
12.1. Environment Environment represents the platform on which the system will be functionalized. The Since
LHRS will be a web-based application and LAN supported, therefore, it must support cross-platform
usability. Web-based applications will facilitate in achieving flexibilityand make the simulator more user-
friendly
12.2. Local Server As it is a prototype project study, therefore, local servers have been utilized. In LHRS,
XAMPP is utilized as the server which is free and open-source cross-platform encompassed with stack
package. The XAMPP creates the database locally which can store the required information about ongoing
operations. XAMPP stores in the local test server.
12.3. Front-End Front-end denotes the GUI that permits accessing tabular, structured, or raw data stored within
it. It deals with utility data as well as users’ requests. The front end of the software has been made of two
applications; Laravel and Vue.js. Laravel is a PHP framework. It is based on MVC architecture. It is a
collection of methods, classes, or files that the programmer use. The interface of the software is made by
laravel. On the other hand, Vue.js is used to develop the interface of the simulator. When a user will enter
the simulator portion, then the interface of the simulator which is made by Vue.js will appear.
12.4. Back-End Back-end is normally denoted as the part of a computer application or code itself that permits
the entire system to be operational which cannot be accessed by the user. It acts as a backbone of the entire
system and processes all sorts of necessary requests to make the system functional. These are the server-
side of the application. In LHRS, MySQL, and PHP are utilized to develop the back end.
Overview of GUI
13. LHRS has two different segments basing on the user (Admin and General User). An admin user owns
necessary attributes to hosts the overall whole authority(ie creating new users, changing and updating user
information, assigning tasks, permission to the user as and when required). He is also having the authority of
assessing the performance of general users/operators. On contrary, the general user has limited access and
can use the system for simulation, track his performance, recording the simulation, performing various tasks
assigned to him. The system has been developed chronologically in light of constraints and dependencies.
Few snapshots on GUI of -LHRs are shown in figure(5-10) below:

System Evaluation
14. Evaluation denotes the most crucial part of system development. After the development is done, evaluating
the system with the basic criteria of a system is important. It is needed to check that whether the software has
reached a minimum standard or not. Furthermore, it also needs to be clarified that, whether the requirements
which were stated earlier bythe user have been met or not. In this study, two types of evaluation methods
have been utilized to findout the overall functionality, usability, and UX of the proposed LHRS:
14.1. Subject Matter Expert(SME).
14.2. System Usability Scale(SUS).
14.3. Nelson’s 10 Heuristic Principles.
15. Subject Matter Expert “A subject-matter expert (SME) is a person who is an authority in a particular area
or topic”[9]. “In case of developing a system or project, for evaluation; the system or project is taken to an
expert who has a vast knowledge about his field”[10].He can understand the system better, evaluating and
comparing it with the present system available. Some criteria are settled in advance on which the overall
evaluation and testing need to be carried out. Those criteria are listed and SME’s are asked to compare
between the current system and the developed system. In this study, the following criteria are considered,
and based on these verdicts were taken from relevant SMEs. The brief SME analysis is shown in table 2
below:
Criteria SME in Actual Scenario SME in Developed System
Time High Low
Resource Various Connections required Full digital
Data Storage Capacity No Yes
Expertise Level Required High Low
Miniature Observation Capacity Cannot be possible Possible
Integration viability Complex procedure Easier
User Flexibility Need a high level of effort to operate Easy to operate
Data Security Less High
Error Probability Mismatch Problem Less

16. System Usability Scale
16.1. In systems engineering, the system usability scale (SUS) is a simple, ten-item attitude Likert scale giving a
global view of subjective assessments of usability”[11].Generally, is a scheme of measuring the efficacy
of software. Furthermore, “it has several different aspects: mentionable; effectiveness (can users
successfully achieve their objectives), efficiency and satisfaction.”[12].
16.2. Calculation Method The techniques mainly follow the weighted Matrix method( as mentioned in
paragraph 6.2)overall calculation method of this technique are as follows:
16.3. SUS Questions The Questions that were asked during the SUS stated below:
16.3.1. Do you think that you would like to use this system frequently?
16.3.2. Do you found the system unnecessarily complex?
16.3.3. Do you think the system was easy to use?
16.3.4. Do you think that you would need the support of a technical person to be able to use this system?

Conclusion
18. Harris Corporation had developed tactical HF
radios, an apposite medium for combat wireless
voice communication networks just before WWII
using standard Internet protocols. “Although HF
radio links own numerous unique characteristics,
HF wireless subnets are inclined to many of the
same traffic flow characteristics [13]. and
topologies as existing in line-of-sight (LOS) radio
networks, giving rise to similar unfavorable issues
for transmission which impart themselves to
investigation through simulation.”[14].
Consequently, an endeavor has been taken to
develop a LAN-based HF Radio Simulator in
short “LHRS” which is quite efficient and high-

fidelity to examine various aspects of HF radio
communications.
19. “HF band usually depend on solar radiation
characteristics, time of day and seasonal
variations which are almost unpredicted
indeed.”[15] Therefore, some sorts of simulation
devices for HF radio communication are of
utmost essential for every military institution for
near-real-time propagation sensing and frequency
adaptation.
20. Future Scopes Development scopes in
impending times are always available. A project-
based study will always possess gray areas as well
as possibilities and opportunities for further
development works. arenas that can be traversed
to help the project reach a new height. Future
scopes are such a part of the project which is
researched later on and advancement can be made
if that 36 research is successful. Therefore, like
others, this project-based study is also in
possession of future scopes to work on in varied
dimensions. Firstly, implementing all
functionalities of radio equipment. Secondly, as
only one radio set is implemented till now, so the
inclusion of all other types of HF radio equipment
(Ie Codan series HF) can be done. This will
stretch the horizon of the proposed system.

International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) Volume 5 Issue 5, July-August 2021 Available Online: www.ijtsrd.com e-ISSN: 2456 – 6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD45034 | Volume – 5 | Issue – 5 | Jul-Aug 2021 Page 1217 LAN Based HF Radio Simulator: An Approach to Develop an Early Prototype for Long-Distance Radio Communication Md Rajib Department of CSE, Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Dhaka, Bangladesh ABSTRACT Communication is considered one of the most decisive factors in winning a battle. That’s why every nation is very well focused to enhance its communication facilities. High Frequency (HF) radio communication system is a major communication platform used for long-distance communication not only for the military forces but also for the law enforcing agencies across the globe. As these communication paraphernalia are very erudite, sophisticated and costly, therefore, rough handling of them during the training period may create a lot of wear and tear. As a result, the equipment loses its capability to work perfectly during actual need. Therefore, an endeavor has been made through this paper to develop LAN-based simulation software for HF radio sets commonly used by varied combat forces and law enforcement agencies. In the order of discussion, both qualitative and quantitative analyses have been carried out through varied graphical illustrations. Various online resources, government publications, administrative census were consulted as primary and secondary data sources. This simulator- based proto-type software will facilitate the use of HF Radio equipment to have vigorous practice and necessary test and trial without deploying the Radio sets on the ground and lessen the wear and tear as well.

Nowadays, most of the developed nations are exploring array processors and digital signal processing technologies to develop real-time, software-based test equipment that simulates high-frequency (HF) radio links. This system is usually known as an HF Channel Simulator like Floating Point Systems AP-120B array processor- based HF radio simulator with wide-ranging bandwidth capabilities and great flexibility in the selection of link parameters available to the user[1] All distortions are at least 50 dB below the desired signal output level. However, these simulators are very expensive. 2. In this paper, an endeavor has been made to develop a user-friendly software-based High Frequency (HF) Radio simulator and trainer of radio sets with affordable cost employing simple algorithm through which persons can practice varied features of widely used HR radio sets at any time. The software will have all the basic functionality of a radio set. The communication will be established through LAN. The basis of the communication will be restricted within Half Duplex mode which is more frequently used in combat communication. Using this LAN-based HF Radio Sumlator(LHRS), the person will have a real-life experience of using a radio set within the actual operational scenario. For a newbie[1] an inexperienced newcomer to a particular activity while handling a particular kind of HF radio set for the first time, should not provide complete access to configure the entire operating modules of that radio set. Rather, if someone can have a complete orientation on varied operating IJTSRD45034

Since all the latest HF radio sets are fairly expensive and abstemiously sensitive encompassing cutting-edge technology, therefore, it will not be prudent to hand over these affluent communication assets to the greenhorns' operator for practicing. In another perspective, we can say that most of the members of the armed forces are not able to get ample real war experiences in their lifetime. Therefore, in case of emergency, problems might arise. So to mitigate the issues we can give them war alike experiences and tasks to make them battle-ready through the proposed prototype HF radio Simulator shortly termed as “LHRS” 3. Scope of The Study Scope The scopes of LHRS are as follows: 3.1. To lessen the exhaustive physical use of the original HF radios for training purposes 3.2. To enhance the training options and dynamics. Facilitate to conduct simulator-based training without the radio sets. 3.3. To simplify the training procedures of varied kinds of HF radio and bringing them under the same platform. 3.4. To incorporate a performance evaluation database and keep track record of performance of the operator as well as field test results conducted in different scenarios 4. ObjectivesThe objectives of Radio Equipment Simulator and Trainer are as follows: 4.1. To identify the requirements of using an HF radio simulator. 4.2. To develop a simulator compatible with widely used HF the radio sets 4.3. To formulate technical and operational simulations. 4.4. To establish communication within HF radio sets working under the same LAN. Methodology 5. The methodology is illustrated in the figure-1 below. In this study, an endeavor has been made to implement only basic SRS and USR with limited GUI features. A comprehensive effort is needed to implement the proposed simulator with inclusive SRS and cosmic GUI features. This process also necessitates involving all expert personals(Vendors of Radio sets, System designers, Coders, Combat Communication Engineers, etc).The methodology of the study is illustrated in figure-1 below: User Requirement Specification CRS Software r Requirements Specification SRS Graphical User Interface GUI System Usability Scale SUS Figure-1: Methodology

The aim and intent of this literature review are to explore and analyze the previous works on varied software-based radio simulators. In the paper[1], L. G. Anderson proposed three algorithms based VHF radio set simulator. In [2], the researcher developed an HF radio simulator on a voice band radio. The simulator was made for operating in a single mood (Simplex mode).In [3], T.C Gills and I. Willoughby made an effort to evaluate the viability of creating Ground to Air VHF radio simulator. In the overall implementation process, they tried to use “Gaussian Power Spectrum Assumption” and Tap Gain Independence Assumptions which was a great leap forward in the sector of radio simulators.

In addition,a comprehensive requirement elicitation will also explore the scope and situations while practical use of radio equipment and to reveal the features that need to be incorporated for developing a system to simulate the radio equipment which can be a trainer too. 7.1. Users’ Requirement Specification An exhaustive survey (with both open and close-ended questionaries) was conducted through an online survey platform (Google form) to identify the users' requirement specifications. Twenty-five combat communicators participated in this regard. The evaluation and output analysis was carried out through a weighted Matrix Method within a range of 5(four) marks where Strongly agree(SA) is allotted with 5 marks. Subsequently Agree(A), Neutral(N), Disagree(DA) Strongly Disagree(DA) are allotted with4, 3,2 and 1 marks respectively. In addition, users’ general comments and observations on wide-ranging issues were collected and ensured via emails The glimpse of survey analysis is illustrated in subsequent paragraph(7-8), and Graph-X to Yis given below: 7.2.

Software Design is the process of specifying a software artifact when it is created. This process is envisioned to undertake implementation purpose and goals utilizing varied embryonic components and substance constraints. In this study, two approaches were followed termed as “Physical Data Flow scheme ” and “Logical Data Flow scheme”. The simple three-step operationalization flowchart of LHRS is illustrated in figure-3 below: Figure-2: Operationalization Diagram of LHRS (Source: Authors’ self-construct) 11.

Designing Tools In the design part, picking up apposite tools is very crucial. After the appropriate tools have been designated, the system engineer/ program writer maystart working with the implementation phase. The tools and environment of the proposed LHRS are described below: 12.1. Environment Environment represents the platform on which the system will be functionalized. The Since LHRS will be a web-based application and LAN supported, therefore, it must support cross-platform usability. Web-based applications will facilitate in achieving flexibilityand make the simulator more user- friendly 12.2. Local Server As it is a prototype project study, therefore, local servers have been utilized. In LHRS, XAMPP is utilized as the server which is free and open-source cross-platform encompassed with stack package. The XAMPP creates the database locally which can store the required information about ongoing operations. XAMPP stores in the local test server. 12.3. Front-End Front-end denotes the GUI that permits accessing tabular, structured, or raw data stored within it. It deals with utility data as well as users’ requests. The front end of the software has been made of two applications; Laravel and Vue.js. Laravel is a PHP framework. It is based on MVC architecture. It is a collection of methods, classes, or files that the programmer use. The interface of the software is made by laravel. On the other hand, Vue.js is used to develop the interface of the simulator. When a user will enter the simulator portion, then the interface of the simulator which is made by Vue.js will appear. 12.4. Back-End Back-end is normally denoted as the part of a computer application or code itself that permits the entire system to be operational which cannot be accessed by the user. It acts as a backbone of the entire system and processes all sorts of necessary requests to make the system functional. These are the server- side of the application. In LHRS, MySQL, and PHP are utilized to develop the back end. Overview of GUI 13. LHRS has two different segments basing on the user (Admin and General User). An admin user owns necessary attributes to hosts the overall whole authority(ie creating new users, changing and updating user information, assigning tasks, permission to the user as and when required). He is also having the authority of assessing the performance of general users/operators. On contrary, the general user has limited access and can use the system for simulation, track his performance, recording the simulation, performing various tasks assigned to him. The system has been developed chronologically in light of constraints and dependencies. Few snapshots on GUI of -LHRs are shown in figure(5-10) below: Figure 5: Login Page Figure 6: Admin Panel

Evaluation denotes the most crucial part of system development. After the development is done, evaluating the system with the basic criteria of a system is important. It is needed to check that whether the software has reached a minimum standard or not. Furthermore, it also needs to be clarified that, whether the requirements which were stated earlier bythe user have been met or not. In this study, two types of evaluation methods have been utilized to findout the overall functionality, usability, and UX of the proposed LHRS: 14.1. Subject Matter Expert(SME). 14.2. System Usability Scale(SUS). 14.3. Nelson’s 10 Heuristic Principles. 15. Subject Matter Expert “A subject-matter expert (SME) is a person who is an authority in a particular area or topic”[9]. “In case of developing a system or project, for evaluation; the system or project is taken to an expert who has a vast knowledge about his field”[10].He can understand the system better, evaluating and comparing it with the present system available. Some criteria are settled in advance on which the overall evaluation and testing need to be carried out. Those criteria are listed and SME’s are asked to compare between the current system and the developed system. In this study, the following criteria are considered, and based on these verdicts were taken from relevant SMEs. The brief SME analysis is shown in table 2 below: Criteria SME in Actual Scenario SME in Developed System Time High Low Resource Various Connections required Full digital Data Storage Capacity No Yes Expertise Level Required High Low Miniature Observation Capacity Cannot be possible Possible Integration viability Complex procedure Easier User Flexibility Need a high level of effort to operate Easy to operate Data Security Less High Error Probability Mismatch Problem Less Table 4: SME Evaluation

Conclusion 18. Harris Corporation had developed tactical HF radios, an apposite medium for combat wireless voice communication networks just before WWII using standard Internet protocols. “Although HF radio links own numerous unique characteristics, HF wireless subnets are inclined to many of the same traffic flow characteristics [13]. and topologies as existing in line-of-sight (LOS) radio networks, giving rise to similar unfavorable issues for transmission which impart themselves to investigation through simulation.”[14]. Consequently, an endeavor has been taken to develop a LAN-based HF Radio Simulator in short “LHRS” which is quite efficient and high-

Future Scopes Development scopes in impending times are always available. A project- based study will always possess gray areas as well as possibilities and opportunities for further development works. arenas that can be traversed to help the project reach a new height. Future scopes are such a part of the project which is researched later on and advancement can be made if that 36 research is successful. Therefore, like others, this project-based study is also in possession of future scopes to work on in varied dimensions. Firstly, implementing all functionalities of radio equipment. Secondly, as only one radio set is implemented till now, so the inclusion of all other types of HF radio equipment (Ie Codan series HF) can be done. This will stretch the horizon of the proposed system. References [1] L.
