WIDE BANDWIDTH BASELINE RADAR STUDY.
Abstract
The study is intended to develop the equipment requirements for a minimal system to be used to establish the scatterer configuration of satellites for space object identification. This report establishes some of the trade-off effects as the system configuration and its associated parameters are changed. Specific trade-off areas covered in this report include: (1) System angular tracking requirements, (2) System range tracking requirements, (3) Optimum data smoothing procedures, (4) Optimum baseline length selection, (5) A survey of orbiting targets, (6) Baseline and site selection, (7) Calibration procedures, (8) Error analysis and performance estimates. The tradeoffs assume the use of the Signal Processing Test Facility in Floyd, New York for the master site. (Author)
