The effect of ground reflections on Faraday rotation and angle‐of‐arrival measurements using satellite radio transmissions is considered. It is shown that, in experiments where such techniques are used to monitor small ionospheric perturbations, errors in the measured polarization angle can be significant and may lead to spurious results. Methods of reducing these errors are suggested.
