Tropospheric communication stations can only be used with accurate antenna orientation in the azimuth plane. At the same time, the aperture width of mirror parabolic antennas for tropospheric communication stations manufactured by JSC «SPE «Radiosvyaz» is about 3–5°, which requires an aiming accuracy of at least 0,5°. The high requirements for antenna guidance are the main reason for the complexity of station deployment, while communication reliability depends not only on the accuracy of antenna orientation, but also on the current state of the atmosphere in the area where the station is located. This problem is particularly acute in the Far North, where due to the mobility of the soil it is necessary to carry out the adjustment of the guidance of communication systems at least once every six months, while access of qualified technical personnel to the location of the communication station is difficult. The lack of remote control of guidance and assessment of the channel state leads to the need for periodic preventive trips of technical personnel to the locations of the communication station, regardless of the real reasons for the deterioration of the bandwidth, which leads to large monetary costs. Objective – to develop a software and hardware complex for azimuth orientation of stations and analysis of the current state of the troposphere.

The implementation of a software and hardware complex, the methodology for azimuth orientation and analysis of the current state of the troposphere are considered. The presented method of azimuth orientation can significantly reduce the time of entry into the communication of tropospheric communication stations. The implementation of remote monitoring of the guidance and state of the communication channel will reduce the costs of operating tropospheric communication stations in the Far North.
