Analytical methodology for evaluating the effect of the ionosphere on the noise immunity of space communication systems
Abstract
An analytical methodology is developed for assessing the effect of the scattering and dispersion properties of the ionosphere on the noise immunity of the noncoherent reception of broadband signals in space communications systems. The probability of error is obtained as a function of the frequency parameters of the transmitted broadband signals (carrier frequency and bandwidth) and the physical parameters of the ionosphere (the average electron density and the intensity of irregularities) determining its scattering and dispersion properties.
