Design and implementation of an HF band digital spectrum monitoring device

Electronic warfare systems are crucial electronic warfare assets used in military and intelligence operations. These systems are employed to interfere with enemy communication networks and radar systems, gather signal intelligence, detect threats, and take countermeasures. There are various receivers operating in different frequency bands. One of these is High Frequency (HF) receivers, which are devices operating in the radio frequency range (3 MHz to 30 MHz). These receivers are generally used for signal intelligence and detecting threats in the field. With this thesis study, the aim is to develop a hardware and algorithm for a monitoring device system that provides reliable and effective operation in the HF band, taking into account existing technology and algorithms. This thesis presents a comprehensive methodology including theoretical examination, simulations, prototype design, and testing phases. The thesis addresses the design and implementation of receivers used in communication and field operations in the HF band, emphasizing the importance of electronic warfare systems. The results demonstrate that the designed digital monitor operates successfully in the HF band and can play a significant role in electronic warfare operations.
