Hello. I was wondering about something the last few weeks and that is if the solar wind can affect communication systems between satellites. I am not referring to the physical damage that the solar wind might produce to the satellite, but the interference it might have on the radio signal that the satellite communicates to other satellites or to ground stations.
I have been browsing the internet and some good books for a few weeks now and the only thing I found is about what physical damages might occur when the satellite fuselage is exposed to the high energy particles that come from the sun and not what the radio signal might suffer from the moving electrically charged particles.
Does the microwave signal from the satellite's antenna suffer any distortions due to the charged particles?
Thank you in anticipation!
