Radio science measurements of atmospheric refractivity with Mars Global Surveyor
(American Geophysical Union, 2006-05-20)Radio occultation experiments with Mars Global Surveyor measure the refractive index of the Martian atmosphere from the surface to ~250 km in geopotential height. Refractivity is proportional to neutral density at low ... -
Communication satellite power amplifiers: current and future SSPA and TWTA technologies
(Wiley, 2016-04)This study captures the state of current satellite transponder technology, specifically, solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) and traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs), and describes expected future advances, including ... -
Radiometer Calibration Using Colocated GPS Radio Occultation Measurements
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014-10)We present a new high-fidelity method of calibrating a cross-track scanning microwave radiometer using Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (GPSRO) measurements. The radiometer and GPSRO receiver periodically ...
