Effect of Ionospheric Induced Depolarization on Satellite Solar Power Station

Abstract

Abstract-The paper presents the ionospheric effect on the power transmitted by satellite solar power station. Consequently, the Faraday rotation and losses due to ionospheric layer are calculated at 2.45 GHz frequency. It is observed that the fluctuation in the Faraday rotation in day time is found to be the maximum as compared to the night hours and. Loss due to depolarization is found to have the maximum value at noon hours for all the seasons (summer, winter and spring) however, the loss is the highest for summer season as compared to winter and spring season. This is logically correct because the ionization is the highest in summer in comparison to winter which gives rise to maximum electron content and maximum depolarization.

Study of Ionospheric Effects on Azimuth Imaging for Medium-Earth-Orbit Sar

“…Spaceborne SAR often works above the ionosphere, and radio signal will be inevitably affected by the ionosphere, which will cause ionosphere-induced effects such as phase fluctuation, group delay, Doppler frequency-shift, dispersive and Faraday rotation [10,11]. So the performances of SAR will degrade due to ionospheric effects.…”

A Novel Strategy for Topside Ionosphere Sounder Based on Spaceborne Mimo Radar With FDCD

“…Ionosphere is an essential constituent of Earth's space weather system, which has significant impacts on electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation [1][2][3]. The topside ionosphere is the region above F2 layer in ionosphere, and the topside ionosphere exploration is of great importance for space information systems, e.g., satellite communication, navigation and remote sensing etc.…”
