Abstract:
—The paper presents the ionospheric effect on the power
transmitted by satellite solar power station. Consequently, the Faraday
rotation and losses due to ionospheric layer are calculated at 2.45 GHz
frequency. It is observed that the fluctuation in the Faraday rotation in
day time is found to be the maximum as compared to the night hours
and. Loss due to depolarization is found to have the maximum value
at noon hours for all the seasons (summer, winter and spring) however,
the loss is the highest for summer season as compared to winter
and spring season. This is logically correct because the ionization
is the highest in summer in comparison to winter which gives rise to
maximum electron content and maximum depolarization.
