GPS TRANSLATOR APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR TEST RANGES

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 24-27, 1983 / Sheraton-Harbor Island Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, CaliforniaTracking system implementations based on the retransmission of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite signals from a test vehicle with signal tracking and trajectory estimation performed by ground-based range equipment are addressed. Two types of vehicle-borne frequency translators are described, techniques for correcting translator local oscillator error are proposed and potential techniques for receiving, recording and relaying translator signals using IRIG standard telemetry equipment are suggested.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
