HF Communication system is one of the attractive fields among many researchers since it can be reached longdistance areas with lowcost. This longdistance communication can be achieved by exploiting the ionosphere as a transmission medium for the HF radio wave. However, due to the dynamic nature of ionosphere, the channel characteristic of HF communication has to be investigated in order to gives better performances. Many techniques to characterize HF channel are available in the literature. However, none of those techniques describe the HF channel characteristic in lowlatitude regions, especially equatorial areas. Since the ionosphere around equatorial region has an ESF phenomenon, it becomes an important investigation to characterize the wideband HF Channel in lowlatitude region. On the other sides, the appearance of softwaredefined radio attracts the interest of many researchers. Accordingly, in this paper a SDRbased channel measurement system is proposed to be used for characterizing the HF channel in lowlatitude region.
