Abstract

Ionospheric variability is one of the main threats to GNSS-based techniques as ionospheric parameters measurement and precise positioning. In this work the effect of equatorial plasma irregularities on signal loss and its influence on the precise point positioning accuracy are shown. These results highlight the importance of the receiver capacity to deal with signal loss and its effects on positioning accuracy.
