This article deals with the impact of ionospheric electron density inhomogeneities on the functionality of global navigation satellite systems emphasizing positioning errors. The scintillation characteristics of transmitted signals have been obtained using data gathered in measurement campaigns. The effects on a standard receiver are then presented. Positioning errors due to scintillations were shown to be greater than 10 meters in the worst case.

Cet article a pour objet lʼétude de lʼimpact de la propagation à travers lʼionosphère, et plus particulièrement à travers les inhomogénéités à lʼintérieur du milieu, sur les erreurs observées par les systèmes de navigation par satellite, en particulier pour le positionnement. Les modifications apportées sur les signaux transmis ont été évaluées à lʼoccasion de campagnes de mesures. Lʼanalyse des effets sur un récepteur standard est ensuite présentée. Les erreurs de positionnement liées aux scintillations sont supérieures à la dizaine de mètres dans les pires cas.
