TSRS as a Solar Radio Noise Monitor for Communication and Navigation Systems

Abstract

Observations and theoretical analyses indicate that solar radio noise can affect radio communications and GPS operations. In this work, we present a statistics relevant to the period 2000–2003 derived from the data recorded by the Trieste Solar Radio System (TSRS) and we stress the importance of precise radio flux measurements as pointed out by a comparison of tenflare catalog data with the TSRS ones for the period 2005–2006.
