Device for improving transmission of digital information through radio communications using ionospheric propagation mode, has module providing estimate of characteristics of ionospheric propagation channel by using total electron content

摘要

The device has a continuous acquisition unit on a data server of a global positioning system, and a data processing unit housed in the data server. The data processing unit includes a module that provides an estimate of total electron content in the ionosphere from measurements provided by the acquisition unit. Another module provides an estimate of the characteristics of an ionospheric propagation channel by adapting the estimate of the total electron content, for providing usable information on a usable frequency range more likely between two points.
