Space weather impact on radio device operation

This paper reviews the space weather impact on operation of radio devices. The review is based on recently published papers, books, and strategic scientific plans of space weather investigations. The main attention is paid to ionospheric effects on propagation of radiowaves, basically short ones. Some examples of such effects are given based on 2012-2016 ISTP SB RAS EKB radar data: attenuation of ground backscatter signals during solar flares, effects of travelling ionospheric disturbances of different scales in ground backscatter signals, effects of magnetospheric waves in ionospheric scatter signals.
