Evaluation of Precise Microwave Ranging Technology for Low Earth Orbit Formation Missions with Beidou Time-Synchronize Receiver

Evaluation of Precise Microwave Ranging Technology for Low Earth Orbit Formation Missions with Beidou Time-Synchronize Receiver

In this study, submillimeter level accuracy K-band microwave ranging (MWR) equipment is demonstrated, aiming to verify the detection of the Earth’s gravity field (EGF) and digital elevation models (DEM), through spacecraft formation flying (SFF) in low Earth orbit (LEO). In particular, this paper in...
