Zain Ionosphere Critical frequency Equatorial region Solar minimum Sunspot number Malaysian Technical Universities Conference on Engineering and Technology (MUCEET) MUCEET 2009 is organized by Malaysian Technical Universities Network (MTUN) comprising of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn (UTHM), Universiti Teknikal Melaka (UTeM) and Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP), 20th - 22nd June 2009 at M. S. Garden Hotel, Kuantan, Pahang. The ionosphere is the topside of the atmosphere that contains high concentration of ions and can reflect radio waves due to refraction. The ionospheric region of interest is located above the equatorial region at longitude 1° 52' and latitude 103° 48' (Parit Raja, Johor). The observations of the ionospheric critical frequency were made from 2005 to 2007. The critical frequency is determined by using the monthly median value for each day. Regression analysis was used on the theoretical and observed value. The observed value is obtained from ionogram measurements with five-minute intervals using logarithmic frequency steps from 1 Mhz to 20 Mhz. The sunspot number is used as a parameter to compare the values of critical frequency at high sunspot and low sunspot numbers for the day. The critical frequency for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 show that the higher value is for 2005 while the critical frequency is much lower for 2006 and 2007. The correlation analysis is used to determine the relationship for the yearly value. The correlation is made using the median value of the foF2 critical frequency from 2005 until 2007. The regression and correlation analysis of the critical frequency was able to show the trend of the critical frequency for the year 2005, 2006 and 2007. 2010-08-25T02:09:15Z 2010-08-25T02:09:15Z 2009-06-20 Working Paper http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/9077 en Proceedings of the Malaysian Technical Universities Conference on Engineering and Technology (MUCEET) 2009 Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP)
