Abstract

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used extensively in both the military and civilian communities for such diverse activities as navigation, surveying, remote sensing, asset management and precise timing. The tremendous popularity of GPS has stemmed from the low cost and small size of modern GPS receivers, and from the high accuracy and reliability of the system. The second factor has also resulted in GPS being considered as a sole means of navigation for critical safety of life applications such as precision approach and landing for air craft and narrow channel navigation for ships. A number of environmental factors are known to affect the performance of GPS, including electromagnetic interference, multipath, foliage attenuation, atmospheric delays and ionospheric scintillations. In this thesis, the ionospheric scintillation is examined by using filtering process.
