| Sumario: | This M. Eng. is devoted to the study of the effects produced during the propagation of electromagnetic waves through an ionized medium, the ionosphere, in the presence of a magnetic field. For this purpose, a review of the ionosphere, electromagnetic propagation, and the state-of-the-art atmospheric models. The main challenge addressed by this thesis is the development of an ionospheric Matlab simulator to assess the propagation of the electromagnetic waves through the ionosphere. The main novelty of this work is the introduction of the current atmospheric and ionospheric models, as well as the latest version of the international geomagnetic reference field. As a result of this project, a very powerful tool never developed before with these characteristics has been generated in the framework of an ESA project. In addition, an SDR-based receiver of satellite opportunity signals has been developed and deployed in the D3 building to measure scintillation effects. |
