Evaluating GPS Receiver Robustness to Ionospheric Scintillation
Todd E. Humphreys is a research assistant professor in the department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin. He will join the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin as an assistant professor in the Fall of 2009. He received a B.S. and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Utah State University and his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineer...
متن کاملLatitudinal and temporal variation of equatorial ionospheric irregularities determined from GPS scintillation observations
In this paper we investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of ionospheric irregularities in the South-East Asian longitude sector by analysing the scintillation of GPS signals received at ground based stations. The data used for this work were collected during 1998 to 2002 with our regional network of GPS based scintillation monitors (Thomas et al., 2001). The aim of this analysis is to...
متن کاملDevelopment and use of a GPS ionospheric scintillation monitor
Besides their intended use in radionavigation, global positioning system (GPS) satellite signals provide convenient radio beacons for ionospheric studies. Among other propagation phenomena, the ionosphere affects GPS signal propagation through amplitude scintillations that develop after radio waves propagate through ionospheric electron density irregularities. This paper outlines the design, te...
متن کاملIonospheric Scintillation Effects on Single and Dual Frequency GPS Positioning
The low latitude ionosphere poses a challenge to both GPS users and Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) providers. Single and dual frequency GPS receivers used in low-latitude regions can suffer from rapid amplitude and phase fluctuations known as scintillation. Scintillation occurs when the GPS or SBAS satellite signal travels through small-scale irregularities in electron density in th...
متن کاملGps Ionospheric Scintillation Measurements Using a Beam Steering Antenna
The ionosphere can affect GPS receivers by degrading the signal strength, in some cases causing loss of carrier lock, and by degrading the accuracy of differential corrections. As we enter the solar maximum years, these effects will become more severe, causing frequent GPS outages in the polar and equatorial regions and over the entire North American landmass when magnetic storms occur. These i...
