Space Weather Impact on GNSS Performance

This book addresses problems of GNSS performance support under geomagnetic storms and solar radio bursts. It analyses both physical and radio-engineering sources of GNSS performance deterioration caused by geomagnetic storms, solar radio bursts and peculiarities of the polar and equatorial ionosphere. The book takes into consideration both standalone GNSS and differential GNSS. Based on experimental data analysis, it presents a systematic approach to maintaining reliable GNSS performance despite the Space Weather impacts.

Vladislav Demyanov, graduated as Ph.D. in Radio wave physics from Irkutsk State University in 2000. He received his Doctor of Science degree in ragio-engineering from Siberian Federal University (Krasnoyarsk city, Russia) in 2011. Now, he is a senior researcher at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Science. Besides he works for both Irkutsk State Transport University and Irkutsk State University as a professor. His research interests include Space Weather impacts on the ionosphere and telecommunication systems (including its transportation applications), GNSS instrumentation for the ionosphere studies.
