Signal Processing Session Eastbourne 2005 Wednesday 5th October 2005 Scope: CoM Issues: Can we assign LAGEOS CoM values to each ILRS Station? If not, why not; If so, how accurate are the values. Preliminary Table of values – for discussion Evidence for variation of CoM correction in existing data Specific ranging tests at the stations - results
Laser pulse –> satellite interaction schematic
Towards CoM From work by Otsubo and Appleby, looked at convolution of ‘on-average’ return pulse with detection systems of ILRS network. 3 main detection regimes/hardware: MCP; CSPAD multi photon; (C)SPAD single photon.
