I.R.O.E. Ground Equipment for ATS-6
Abstract
The general-purpose apparatus described was developed for use in the ionospheric research program devised for the ATS-6 satellite. The apparatus incorporates a number of receiving channels for carrying out basic propagation measurements, including polarization, differential phase, angle of arrival, and the amplitude and cross correlation of the incoming wave. The block diagram of a receiving channel is discussed, along with the polarimeter configuration; amplitude and cross correlation measurement configuration; dispersive Doppler measurement configuration; and interferometer configuration.
