Dynamic Calibration of GPS Effective Isotropic Radiated Power for GNSS-Reflectometry Earth Remote Sensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Reflectometry uses reflected GNSS signals for Earth remote sensing applications. Absolute calibration of a Delay Doppler Map (DDM) requires an accurate estimate the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) transmitter, e.g., Positioning (GPS). However, variable transmit by numerous Block II Follow-on (IIF) and Replenishment-Modernized (IIR-M) GPS space vehicles has been observed due to their flex mode. Nonuniformity in antenna gain patterns further complicates EIRP estimation. A dynamic approach is developed address variability. It measurements direct received signal specular direction then incorporates it into normalized bistatic radar cross section (NBRCS). Error analyses using Monte Carlo simulations root sum squares (RSS) show that resulting error NBRCS about 0.32 dB. Dynamic instantaneously detects corrects fluctuations transmitters significantly reduces errors azimuthal asymmetry. allows observations with most IIF (approximately 37% constellation) be included standard data products improves quality geophysical products.
