The Effects of Solar Radiation on Communication

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the impact of solar activity on Earth's ionosphere and its implications for telecommunications. It details how ultraviolet radiation from the Sun increases critical frequencies in the F2 layer, particularly from morning to afternoon. The author discusses ionospheric storms, which cause fluctuations in radio frequencies—some being absorbed while others are reflected, leading to unpredictable signal propagation. Through this work, various solar activities and their effects on electron densities in the ionosphere are examined, especially during solar maximum periods.
