Validation of roundtrip charged-particle calibrations derived from S- and X-band Doppler via DRVID measurements
Abstract
It is shown that roundtrip signal path calibrations for charged particle effects can be computed from S- and X-band Doppler data. The method by which this is done is described, and possible error sources are examined. It is shown that roundtrip calibrations computed from S- and X-band Doppler compare to direct measurements using DRVID to within the DRVID data noise.
