Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTEC and Scintillation Study of Equatorial Ionosphere: A Month Campaign over Sipitang and Parit Raja Stations, MalaysiaM. Abdullah, A. F.M. Zain, Y. H. Ho, S. AbdullahProblem Statement: Ionospheric scintillations, which cause significant effects on satellite signals for communication and navigation, often takes place in equatorial region such as Malaysia. However, this disturbance are not fully understand due to few studies performed. This research reports the study and monitoring activity on Total Electron Content (TEC) and ionospheric scintillation in Malaysia using GPS measurements. Approach: One dual-frequency … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInterpretation of Double Langmuir Probe I-V Characteristics at Different Ionospheric Plasma TemperaturesShankar BhattaraiWhere the plasma potential is fluctuating significantly, Single Langmuir probe method is not relevant to determine the plasma characteristics. This weakness was overcome by the development of the floating double probe. A distortion of the probe characteristics due to varying potential is eliminated, while the whole probe system is floating. This supports probe operation also in discharges with strongly varying … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2017 · 8,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIonospheric Total Electron Content Response to the December 26, 2004 North Sumatra EarthquakeA. Abdullah, A. F.M. Zain, M. H. Jusoh et al.Problem statement: Ionospheric precursors of earthquake have been studied by scientists and seismologists. This study aims at examining the relationship between the ionosphere and earthquake precursors. The effects of the anomalous electric field that penetrates the ionosphere on the electron concentration can be measured experimentally. This study reports on the variability of the Total Electron Content (TEC) during the December … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLeveling Process of Total Electron Content (TEC) Using Malaysian Global Positioning System (GPS) DataY. Norsuzila, M. Abdullah, M. IsmailThe signals from the satellites of the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) travel through the earth's ionosphere on their way to GPS receivers. However, ionospheric delay is one of the main sources of error in GPS. The magnitude of the ionospheric delay is influenced by the Total Electron Content (TEC) along the radio wave path from a GPS satellite to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,762 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Automatic Processing of Ionospheric Data: New Possibilities Even with Old Data?Carlo ScottoTheautomatic interpretation of ionograms provides an opportunity to establish alarge quantity of data at reduced costs and also makes it possible to recovermeasurements that could otherwise be lost to posterity. The quality of theautomatically obtained data is still not completely defined, which inducescomparison with the traditional method conducted by experienced operators. …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Jun 2015 · 7,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method for Multipath Clustering for Over-the-Horizon RadarAshraf M. Aziz, Senior Member, IEEE et al.Over-the-Horizon Radar (OTHR) exploits the refraction of high frequency radiation through the ionosphere layers to detect targets beyond the line-of-sight horizon. Multipath propagation between the radar and the detected targets may results in multiple spatially separated tracks for a single target to be observed at the receiver site. Consequently there is a heavy traffic, especially in case of multiple targets, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 29 Sep 2016 · 7,285 accessesView PDFCite
