Regarding an antenna for 22 Hz.

22 Hertz is in the ELF Extremely Low Frequency band.

To- Somaliahamradio@yahoo.com

Sam,

I have been casting about the internet looking for someone with experience at Extremely Low Frequencies ELF.

I started looking for amateur radio discussions because, as a former ham, I knew that hams get into all sorts of odd things like this.

Specifically, I'm interested in detection at a frequency of 22 Hz.

Given that it is impractical to build an antenna for 22 Hz, what sort of things can be done to optimize receiver sensitivity at that low of a frequency?

Do you know, or do you know anyone would know how to approach an ELF antenna design like this?

Any leads you may be able to provide would be most appreciated.

Thanks

The purpose of an antenna for 22 Hz is to receive radio waves on 22 Hz.

22 Hz is in the 3 Hz to 30 Hz ELF band where radio waves (radio wavelengths) are between 100,000 km to 10,000 km long.

Anything we do will not be able to efficiently detect such signals because our antenna (in a normal suburban house) can never be near the ideal quarter wavelength (25,000 km long for a 3 Hz antenna to 2,500 km long for a 30 Hz antenna) or half the wavelength (50,000 km long for a 3 Hz antenna to 5,000 km long for a 30 Hz antenna).

However we don’t need high efficiency to be able to successfully hear signals in the ELF 3 Hz to 30 Hz band. Why?

To answer this question lets look at the use of the ELF band and the radio bands either side.

Frequencies below the ELF band are called the TLF Tremendously Low Frequency band from 0 Hz to 3 Hz.

Frequencies above the ELF band are called the SLF Super Low Frequency band from 30 Hz - 300 Hz.

The frequencies 0 Hz to 200 Hz that are within the TLF, ELF and SLF bands.

200 Hertz 200 Hz Max Planck Institute’s High Frequency (HF) heating facility, near Tromso (Tromsø), Norway. This research station transmits 1 MW (200 MW to 300 MW ERP effective radiated power) on 2.75 MHz - 4 MHz, 3.85 MHz - 5.6 MHz and 5.5 MHz - 8 MHz into the overhead ionosphere that results in the upper atmosphere generating electromagnetic emissions from 200 Hertz to 6.5 MHz which can be heard on the ground. This is used for the study of the Earth’s ionospheric and magnetospheric properties and as a way of using high power short waves to generate Super Low Frequency signals.


70 Hertz – 150 Hertz, 70 Hz – 150 Hz MEECN, USA. A Minimum Essential Emergency Communications Network MEECN development proposal suggested this frequency range for US Department of Defense communications to submerged submarines. MEECN is managed by the Naval Air Systems Command to improved USA capability to receive presidential directives throughout the full spectrum of a nuclear war.

In 2008 MEECN began work to add EHF to their network.

In 2008 the US Navy was using floating HF radio antennas and buoys that allowed two way communications with submarines.

A radio buoy can be launched from a submarine. When the buoy arrives on the surface it can contact a satellite by radio waves and in the water it can contact the submarine using sonar waves.

The problem with this system is that sonar waves indicate the location of a submarine.

The buoy is hidden if it operates below the Sea surface.

0 Hertz – 300 Hertz and above, 0 Hz to 300 Hz and above USA submarines equipped (today 2009) with TRF, ELF, SLF and the frequencies above.

In 2001 The Department of the Navy USA described the 76 Hz “ELF” (SLF) communications system “as the only operational communications system” (in the USA) “that can penetrate sea water to great depths and is virtually jam proof from both natural and man made interference…allowing the (USA) submarine fleet to remain at depth and speed and maintain its stealth while remaining in communications with the national command authority.”

The “ELF” (SLF) communication system (low data rate- slow speed transmission) can be used to tell a submarine crew to rise near the Sea surface to copy a VLF higher data rate (higher speed transmission) broadcast. If necessary an even higher data rate is available on frequencies from HF through to EHF.

The US Navy broadcasts to nuclear armed and nuclear powered submarines deep under the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic ice cap. The two “ELF” (SLF) stations in the USA were decommissioned in 2004).

A British “ELF” (SLF) nuclear submarine communication project at Glengarry Forest, Scotland was cancelled in 1991.

What knowledge can we gain from research done in the Super Low Frequency 30 Hz - 300 Hz band?

Firstly we know that submarines successfully get worldwide reception in that band.

Secondly we know they are not using antennas anywhere near a quarter or a half a wavelength long.

This shows it will be possible to get good results with an antenna in a suburban home location.

The USA 40 kHz to 80 kHz submarine broadcast and the submarine communications system before the decommissioning of both the Wisconsin ELF submarine broadcast station and the Michigan ELF submarine broadcast station in 2004 are outlined on this link http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/navy/docs/scmp/part07.htm


Why did the USA decommission its two long operating 76 Hertz Seafarer US Navy submarine broadcast stations?

All information is good for researching an antenna for 22 Hz and this question cannot go unanswered because it may give more ideas on this question.

The USA concluded that in a nuclear attack their land based Super Low Frequency broadcast station would be the first to be attacked so as to cut their communications to their submarines that wait quietly for months at a time in the deep Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and under the Arctic ice cap. In this situation an early first strike nuclear attacker would not be worried about retaliation from submarines with nuclear missiles that had been the basis for a deterrent from an attack.


In 2009 the USA operates VLF Very Low Frequency 3 kHz - 30 kHz submarine land broadcast stations but those cannot reach deep under the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic ice cap.


A 5 MHz HF radio wave will penetrate about 0.12 metres (12 centimetres, 4.7 inches) into Ocean salt water.


Low Frequency LF radio waves of 100 kHz can only penetration to a water depth of about 7 metres.


Very Low Frequency VLF radio wave penetration of water depends on the amount of salt in the water. In the Atlantic Ocean where salt level is high VLF will penetrate not more than 20 metres below the Sea surface. In the Baltic Sea and Mediterranean Sea where the salt level is low it is possible for VLF radio signals to penetrate over 40 metres below the Sea surface.


In submarine radio broadcasts a 76 kHz Extremely Low Frequency ELF radio wave will penetrate between 90 to 120 metres (300 feet to 400 feet) below the surface of the Ocean salt water.


Submarine Tremendously Low Frequency TLF radio broadcasts on 2.2 Hz (2.2 Hertz) penetrate below the surface of the Ocean salt water more than 90 to 120 metres (300 to 400 feet).


The first thing we know is that radio waves on ELF Extremely Low Frequency 3 Hz - 30 Hz can do things like world wide deep penetration of the Oceans which a VLF Very Low Frequency 3 kHz - 30 kHz system cannot do. That is why the Russian 82 Hertz Super Low Frequency SLF transmissions continue in 2009.

So what did the USA do to replace its 76 Hz land based submarine broadcast system and reestablish a nuclear attack deterrent?

TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out) is a USA Navy system designed for use during a nuclear war. TACAMO connects the orders of the USA National Command Authority to US submarines who carry nuclear bombs fitted to their missiles.

The USA Naval Air Systems Command TACAMO program uses aircraft to transmit the Very Low Frequencies (VLF) broadcasts that where done by its two vulnerable land based SLF stations.

Aircraft use a very very long trailing wire antenna from a high altitude for their Very Low Frequency transmitting antenna. This reestablished the nuclear deterrent because these VLF aircraft are a backup to the land VLF radio stations that maintain the communications link with submarines using MFSK (Minimum Frequency Shift Keying, Minimum Frequency Shift Carrier) on VLF 3 kHz - 30 kHz.

To gain more insight into the 22 Hz antenna question we can ask what has been learned from the Russian Navy transmitter on 82 Hz and the earlier American Navy system on 76 Hz?

SLF Super Low Frequency 30 Hz - 300 Hz have Super Long Wave radio wavelengths that are 10,000 km to 1,000 km long. The energy of the transmitter is placed deep into the Earth by operating over poorly conducting earth. Poorly conducting earth allows the SLF wave to reach further down into the Earth and achieve “coupling” so that the whole Earth’s surface becomes “the antenna”. The amount of energy that is coupled to Earth is small but it will travel around the Earth making this frequency ideal for broadcasts to submarines.

The USA Navy nuclear response submarine communications system TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out) test to transmit on ELF frequencies from aircraft were unsuccessful because the ELF energy is too far above the Earths surface to be able to “couple” to earth and so use the advantage of ELF where the entire Earth can become the “antenna.”

This then gives one idea for antenna design involving coupling energy to earth where little soil and poorly conducting rock is the ideal location.

The band below ELF is the TLF Tremendously Low Frequency 0 Hz to 3 Hz where vibrations in the Earth can be detected extending up into the ELF. This is the basis of exploration into earthquake early warning systems using these frequencies to Earth coupled antennas.

Let’s look closer at the frequencies in the ELF Extremely Low Frequency 3 Hz - 30 Hz which contains the frequency 22 Hz.

There was a TV movie that showed a man who made a receiver that heard plants crying when they were cut or upset.

Antennas in the TLF and ELF bands from 0 Hz to 40 Hz can detect electric fields as noise which can be varied by passing clouds, the movement of tree leaves, people, animals and birds.

If the purpose of the antenna is other than detecting such electric fields then it should be mounted away from those objects and raised above the ground by a few metres.


Antennas in the TLF an ELF bands from 0 Hz to 40 Hz should be well made to avoid vibration or movement.

If necessary it is also possible to construct an amplifier between the 22 Hz ELF antenna and the ELF receiver.

A sharp low pass filter can be used to remove 60 Hz (60 Hertz in the USA) or 50 Hz (50 Hz in Australia and Europe) background noise originating from power lines and radio noise emission from computers to allow reception below those frequencies.
