1. 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

2. Laser pulse –> satellite interaction schematic

3. 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.
