Abstract
An HF mesh network node includes an Electric Field Rydberg sensor as a compact broadband HF antenna. The Electric Field Rydberg sensor ensures that the receiver has visibility of a large band of HF spectrum and can therefore receive all propagating frequencies in that band simultaneously. The system may receive control information via the Rydberg sensor to establish a direct connection with a distant node via a traditional coupler and antenna on a specific frequency. The system may include a plurality of Rydberg sensors, each specifically tuned to cover a 10 MHz range of an extended spectrum.
