Abstract:
‘Frequency Spectrum’ is a scarce resource, demanding judicious use.
The success of any communication plan requires an efficient frequency
management system. Pakistan Army Signal Corps employs a number of radio
sets in different frequency bands for provision of reliable communication. The
current system of frequency allocation does not allow induction of new radio
sets with different technical characteristics. A software based frequency
analysis and management system has been developed. It analyses all factors of
HF frequency communication theory. The emphasis is on an interference free
distribution mechanism to the desired number of nets allowing usage of any
type of radio equipment working on either fixed frequency (FF) or in frequency
hopping (FH) mode. PARAMS has been designed to provide Pakistan Army with a
dynamic and flexible HF frequency analysis and management system. An effort
has been made to highlight the flaws in the system in vogue and the dire need
of software envisaging new technologies.
