Prediction of satellite communication noise immunity by results of ionosphere scintillation monitoring

We present block scheme of complex that provides real-time prediction of satellite communication noise immunity by results of monitoring of mean square small-scale nonhomogeneities deviation of total electron content of ionosphere. Here the output of dual-frequency receiver NovAtel GPStation-6 of satellite radio-navigation system is monitored. According to measured results, we found that regions with unacceptable mean square nonhomogeneities deviation of total electron content are able in mean latitude. Mentioned deviations can lead to great scintillation of receiving signals and unacceptable noise immunity reducing of satellite communication during the 13 minutes. These results can be used for satellite communication system frequency and time parameters adaptation to variations of radio wave transionospheric propagation conditions for noise immunity improvement under ionosphere perturbations like small-scale nonhomogeneities deviation of total electron content
