Survey of Ionospheric Propagation Effects and Modeling Techniques for Mitigation of GPS Error

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
A survey of topics related to GPS signal propagation is presented, with a focus on the effects of ionospheric phenomena on GPS positioning. Some questions addressed by this work are: In what ways are GPS signals impacted as they travel through the ionosphere, and how do we quantify these effects? Which ionospheric effects are the most harmful to GPS performance, what methods can be employed to correct for them, and how effective are they? What computational models exist for prediction and mitigation of GPS error, and how do they work? Answering these questions is not trivial and requires extensive background knowledge. Chapters 1 and 2 provide the prerequisite knowledge in order to provide context for Chapter 3, which focuses on answering the questions posed previously. Readers are expected to have some prior knowledge of electromagnetic theory. For reference, appendices with a variety of topics in electromagnetics are included.
