(TECHSAT 21) Advanced Ionospheric Effects Sensor - Research and Development

Abstract

A good deal of effort was put into analyzing the anticipated instrument (DIDM-3) performance. The instrument design, using a backgammon type anode and four charge amps, was looked at to determine: (1) if a design can be produced which provided optimal performance, and (2) whether the design provides adequate imaging resolution for the drift measurements. The design optimization efforts were reported on in a previous report, and in the subsequent material the following analysis are presented: (1) expected measurement accuracy and resolution; and (2) count rate effects on performance.
