Calibration Analysis

Step-by-step Procedure for Calibration

In order to obtain complete calibration several integrated analysis are performed. The following are the steps taken. Each section includes details and algorithms used to accomplish their individual goal.

• Detecting satellite transmission.

• Converting raw data to received power at the CGS antenna.

• Finding pulses in the noise.

• Determining the power of each pulse.

• Comparing the timing to the model.

• Determining the frequency band of each pulse, i.e. Doppler.

• Comparing received Doppler to the model.

• Comparing received power to the instrument antenna pattern.

• Minimizing the difference - perturbing the model.
