Abstract

Solar flares tend to disrupt the radio communication systems and modulate active radio wave frequencies, particularly the ones that have utility in High Frequency (HF) radio signals and transceiver signals because they are the ones who find utility in radio communications systems. Solar flares generate electromagnetic waves which interact with the earth’s atmospheric medium and travel through the ionospheric region. These electromagnetic waves modulate radio frequency communication signals. This modulation of waves or superposition of waves may be reflected, refracted, or diffracted due to interactions with several multi-frequency electromagnetic waves. It is widely believed hypothesis that the propagation of radio waves in the ionosphere region is significantly influenced by the Sun’s erratic behavior. Therefore, it has even a large impact on several high frequency (HF) radio communication waves that propagate for communication purposes like radio broadcasting waves and amateur radio communications, two-way radio communication, maritime mobile radio communication, general mobile radio employing HF bands, and point-to-point radio communication systems.
