Abstract

Our daily communications and navigational systems rely on the ionospheric conditions, and this sensitive region of the atmosphere is traversed and governed by radio and global positioning system (GPS) signals which broadcast on bouncing off the ionosphere to reach their destinations. All the communication signals can be interfered with modifications because of the changes in the ionosphere’s density and its composition so that large percentage of the free electrons in the ionosphere affect radio wave signal propagation and disturb our communication signal. The ionosphere’s free electrons oscillate in response to high-frequency radio waves, which cause them to radiate energy back down at the same frequency. This essentially makes the radio wave to return to the earth. The wave function study of the perturbed ionospheric waves is a mathematical description that explains or describes disturbances in the ionosphere. It typically involves solving complex equations to model the behavior of perturbed ionospheric waves, considering factors like electron density variations and magnetic field interactions. The specific form of the wave function depends on the type of perturbation and the underlying physics involved.

Keywords: Ionospheric storm, Solar activity, Airport Communication signal, Ionospheric critical frequency, Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances
