Solar wind interfering with satellite communications

[Shockblast]

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!

Solar wind does have an impact on artificial satellites such as geostationary satellites that are mostly used for direct to home satellite television. The solar wind does impart a force on the surface of the satellite, but the forces of gravitational attraction from the Sun, Earth and Moon are far greater. You may have also come across articles discussing solar sails (recently the Japanese conducted a test using a single panel solar sail of a much larger planned spacecraft ). Twice a year satellites are affected by solar outage where the sun, satellite and receiving antenna are aligned. As the sun puts out an immense level of radio noise across multiple frequency bands the satellite transmission is swamped and signal lost on the receiver. Mass solar ejecta would be the largest threat to communication satellites and a recent near miss was well documented by NASA. The most common cause of the reduction of signal power from satellites is meteorological (rain fade). The large majority of satellites have their reception and transmission antennas Earth facing, solar monitoring spacecraft do suffer from the effects of exposure to the solar wind as they are outside the Earth's protective magnetosphere (look up Northern Lights).
