Analysis of ionospheric scintillation in GNSS signals

Scintillation is a particular type of space weather disturbance that currently limits the accuracy and availability of the Global Navigation Satellite System. The present final master’s thesis aims to study the characteristics of satellite navigation techniques. First, evaluate the impact of scintillation on the frequencies and signals used in space-based navigation systems. For this, the TFM will make use of the Geodetic Detrending technique developed by research group Astronomy and Geomatics of the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (gAGE). The final objective of this TFM is to show that, once the scintillation effect has been detected, there are receptors that in combination with certain signals can influence navigation or the study of the atmosphere.
