During the last decade, the precision in the tracking of spacecraft has constantly improved. The discovery of few astrometric anomalies, such as the Pioneer and Earth flyby anomalies, stimulated further analysis of the operative modeling…
The changes in phase, time and frequency suffered by signals when retransmitted by a remote and inaccessible transponder and the propagation delays are major constraints to obtain accurate ranging measurements in various related…
Determining range, Doppler and astrometric observables is of crucial interest for modelling and analyzing space observations. We recall how these observables can be computed when the travel time of a light ray is known as a function of the…
Many physical parameters that can be estimated from space mission tracking data influence both the translational dynamics and proper time rates of observers. These different proper time rates cause a variability of the time transfer…
This note gives a correction to the standard analysis of the delay pattern in the radio signals from a pulsar in a binary system; the same coordinate frame should be used for the transmission of the signal as for the motion of the pulsar in…
Solar plasma as a cause of radio signal delay has been playing an important role in solar and planetary science. Early experiments studying the distribution of electrons near the Sun from spacecraft ranging measurements were designed so…
We derive the closed form Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) expressions for joint estimation of time delay and Doppler shift with unknown signals with possibly known structure. The results are especially useful for passive radar where direct path and…
This letter is to introduce delay Doppler transform (DDT) for a time domain signal. It is motivated by the recent studies in wireless communications over delay Doppler channels that have both time and Doppler spreads, such as, satellite…
The time delay effect for planets and spacecraft is obtained from a fully relativistic modified gravity theory including a fifth force skew symmetric field by fitting to the Pioneer 10/11 anomalous acceleration data. A possible detection of…
Context. Closed-loop Doppler data obtained by deep space tracking networks (e.g., NASA's DSN and ESA's Estrack) are routinely used for navigation and science applications. By "shadow tracking" the spacecraft signal, Earth-based radio…
We consider two transceivers, the first with perfect clock and the second with imperfect clock. We investigate the joint estimation of the delay between the transceivers and the offset and the drift of the imperfect clock. We propose a…
In cognitive radio systems, secondary users can utilize multiple dispersed bands that are not used by primary users. In this paper, time delay estimation of signals that occupy multiple dispersed bands is studied. First, theoretical limits…
Cognitive radio transceiver can opportunistically access the underutilized spectrum resource of primary systems for new wireless services. With interleave implementation, the secondary transmission may be interrupted by the primary user's…
The pulsar timing technique, which compares the observed arrival times of electromagnetic radiation from a pulsar with the predicted arrival times derived from a theoretical model of the pulsar system, is used in pulsar astronomy to infer a…
Three-dimensional wind retrievals from ground-based Doppler radars have played an important role in meteorological research and nowcasting over the past four decades. However, in recent years, the proliferation of open-source software and…
The aim of this paper is to study the time delay on electromagnetic signals propagating across a binary stellar system. We focus on the antisymmetric gravitomagnetic contribution due to the angular momentum of one of the stars of the pair.…
At present, tracking data for planetary missions largely consists of radio observables: range-rate range and angular position. Future planetary missions may use Interplanetary Laser Ranging (ILR) as a tracking observable. Two-way ILR will…
This chapter is motivated by the need for a rigorous and comprehensive analysis of the Doppler effects encountered by electromagnetic and acoustic signals across a diverse spectrum of modern applications. These include land mobile…
In 2004, McLaughlin et al. discovered a phenomenon in the radio emission of PSR J0737-3039B (B) that resembles drifting sub-pulses. The repeat rate of the sub-pulses is equal to the spin frequency of PSR J0737-3039A (A); this led to the…
Time delay estimation has long been an active area of research. In this work, we show that compressive sensing with interpolation may be used to achieve good estimation precision while lowering the sampling frequency. We propose an…
