GPS ionospheric scintillation and total electron content during partial solar eclipse in Malaysia / Wan Muhammad Faizhaqimi Wan Hasbullah

The most famous and known effects of space weather is fluctuation in the amplitude and phase radio signal that propagates in the ionosphere. This fluctuation is also known as scintillation which will intense, degrades the signal quality, reduce the information content, or cause failure of the signal...
