Summary on Grant Application Form
1) To further develop the theory of the influence of electron density fluctuations on both narrow and wide band HF signals to include anistropic effects and to extended the computer code to enable channel characteristics to be determined.2) To apply this extended technique to a wide range of simulated paths and conditions to provide data required for HF simulator and transmission system design including coherence functions delay time spread, Doppler spread Etc. To provide input to working Group 4 of COST 252 on HF simulators.3) To Model scintillation effects in through- ionospheric paths to GPS/GLONASS navigation satellites and to develop improved ionospheric, models particularly for regional area GNSS positioning systems, where ionospheric error is one of the main error sources.
