This paper illustrates the processes carried out for the application of biphase complete complementary code (CCC) for ionospheric sounding to address the coherent interference problem in multi-station ionospheric sounding. An algorithm to generate the biphase CCC is described, and the detailed process of waveform construction and signal processing is presented. Characteristics of the autocorrelation and cross-correlation are analyzed through simulations, and the technical feasibility of the application of CCC is explored. Experiments of ionospheric sounding with the CCC are also implemented to verify performance. Results demonstrate that the CCC performs well in multi-station ionospheric sounding, and is capable of eliminating the coherent interference in the network of ionosondes, compared to the conventional complementary code.
