Ionospheric Research Using Satellites.

Abstract

This report describes work done in continuation of research on the ionosphere's influence on satellite radio signals. Calculating the influence of the TEC (Total Electron Content) on the errors in the NNSS Satellite Navigation System, results are given in graphical form for different passess and TEC's. The theory for evaluating Faraday rotations without postulating quasi-longitudinal conditions is given. Several new methods to determine the TEC accurately from records including transverse propagation conditions are proposed.
