ADAPTIVE METHOD FOR ELECTRON CONTENT EVALUATION OF IONOSPHERE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H04B7/185 

FIELD: physics, instrument engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to radio engineering and can be used to evaluate the electronic content of ionosphere. For this, the method comprises a set of measurements performed by a plurality of beacons receiving radio frequency signals transmitted from the multiple transmit satellites; calculation of the coordinates of the intersection points between the signal transmission axis and the surface surrounding the Earth, as well as the vertical total electron content determined in each of these points; calculation of the vertical total electron content for each of the nodes of the starting mesh net of the surface; statistical dispersive analysis of the vertical total electron content; calculation step allowing to set up an appropriate statistical evaluation function, or the calculation step allowing to generate a suitable mesh net of the surface; statistical analysis of errors allowing to select between confirming the correctness of the adaptation method and terminating thereof.

EFFECT: invention provides the improved accuracy assessment determining electron content of ionosphere.
