Statistical relation between earthquakes and anomalous line-of-sight propagation in the VHF band by wavelet transform analysis

Recently, electromagnetic phenomena associated with earthquakes have gotten a lot of attention. So, we have been observed VHF band propagation for long timeand analyzed statistical relation between anomalous line-of-sight propagation in the VHF band and occurrences of earthquakes using quantitative evaluation. Now, we need to detect the anomalous propagation from received data. Therefore, we used a statistical analysis to judge anomalous propagation in a previous study. In this paper, we judged the anomalous propagation by continuous wavelet transform and evaluated the relationship with earthquakes. Furthermore, we introduced hit rate and alarm rate to simplify the relationship between anomalous propagation and earthquakes. As a result, relation between anomalous propagation and earthquakes became clear.
