Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Electrical Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
Spatial ionospheric gradients cause differences in satellite ranging measurements at different locations. Three algorithms are analyzed in this thesis to estimate the variations in the TEC gradient between two locations. These variations are then used to characterize the size of spatial gradients. Error sources are analyzed for each algorithm and detection thresholds are calculated. Data collected from Ohio University airport and Jordan sites with a 5-km baseline are used to test the feasibility and performance of the three algorithms.
