Abstract
An HF mesh network connectivity algorithm incorporates the impact of coupler efficiency in the transmit direction and impact of impedance mismatch on the receive direction. Nodes in the HF mesh network include an HF coupler; the HF coupler switches between an impedance matching path and a bypass path. The impedance matching path may be used to transmit while the bypass path is used to receive over a wider spectrum then is enabled with impedance matching. The impedance matching path may be utilized for certain narrow bandwidth receive operations. The bypass path enables a spectral sensor to see all propagating frequencies.
