In IEEE PLANS, Position Location and Navigation Symposium. New York : IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014. ISBN: 978-147993320-4. Art. nr. 6851357, p. 50-58.978-147993320-4http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/4829We propose a low complexity technique to generate amplitude correlated time-series with Nakagami-m distribution and phase correlated Gaussian-distributed time-series, which is useful in the simulation of ionospheric scintillation effects during the transmission of GNSS signals. The method requires only the knowledge of parameters S4 (scintillation index) and σΦ (phase standard deviation) besides the definition of models for the amplitude and phase power spectra. The Zhang algorithm is used to produce Nakagami-distributed signals from a set of Gaussian autoregressive processes.engGaussian distributionNakagami channelsIonospheric electromagneticWave propagationRadiowave propagationSatellite navigationTime seriesconference object10.1109/PLANS.2014.6851357
