The paper discusses the use of modern approaches to digital signal processing (DSP) and Software Defined Radio, in particular, the Digital Down Conversion / Digital Up Conversion architecture, as applied to the problem of designing the architecture of hardware and software systems for automated ionospheric sounding (ionosonde, Ionosphere Sounding), and also presents the results of practical testing of the discussed approaches to analyzing the state of the ionosphere during solar flare activity using the example of a strong ionospheric storm on November 5-6, 2023.
