Aiming at the problem of the OPNET can't reflect the feature of high frequency(HF)communication via skywave propagation. Firstly,the characteristics of HF skywave channel are analyzed,and the calculation methods of transmission path length and power loss are given out. The OPNET for network simulation and the ITS for channel simulation are introduced,according to the principles of channel calculation and software simulation,a combined simulation method based on the inner integrated point of two softwares is developed. By using the combined simulation method in a HF network for performance analysis,the result can reflect the characteristic of HF channel,which proved that the combined simulation method can provide more realistic channel condition for OPNET when simulating a HF network.
