LOW-Cost Prototype Equipment For VLF Radio Wave Monitoring

Abstract

The paper presents a short overview of the natural phenomena that generates VLF, ELF and SLF electromagnetic waves. In order to emphasize the importance of studying these waves, the paper presents a prototype equipment used for receiving and monitoring very low frequency electromagnetic waves generated by natural and artificial sources. The functionality of the equipment is proved by monitoring, during several days, different VLF radio transmitters located at distances over 1000 km from the reception point. The data collected revealed the diurnal variations of the VLF radio wave propagation and the induced disturbances in propagation conditions during January 4th 2011 partial solar eclipse.
