How Solar Cycle affect to GNSS receiver ?
The Solar Cycle is the cycle of changing sunspot numbers with an average duration of 11 years, covering both periods of increasing the number of sunspots to the maximum (Solar Maximum) and decreasing the number of sunspots to the minimum (Solar Minimum). Every time a new cycle occurs, many astronomical phenomena affect space weather such as Solar storms and Solar flares.
These phenomena cause particles, electromagnetic waves, and various types of radiation from eruptions on the sun's surface. When it enters the Earth's atmosphere, it causes magnetic storms which can damage communications systems, space stations, and the lives of astronauts including GNSS Navigation Satellites orbiting in the Ionosphere.
The solar cycle statistics graph shows that the magnetic field disturbances in the atmosphere will increase continuously and reach a maximum during 2024-2025. It is necessary for surveyors who regularly use GNSS to have a receiver that has the technology to reduce the impact of this phenomenon as it is the main cause of RTK float solution with more than 10 cm. position accuracy.
Trimble Ionoguard™ Technology is one of the technologies that can reduce the impact of magnetic field disturbance. It allows surveyors who do the RTK that achieves 2-4 cm. position accuracy both horizontal and vertical. Be ready to meet this new technology in our latest GNSS model - Trimble R980 GNSS.
