Location Area Design for GEO Mobile Satellite System

Satellite constellation design plays an important role in satellite networks. Network constellation system design can affect the effectiveness of current improvements of the communications link and the management of the entire network. The power ...

Based on the classical constellation design method, the orthogonal circular orbit constellation is proposed. The design objectives considered here are the following: global Earth coverage by low Earth orbit satellites, the duration of continuously ...

Differential code bias (DCB) is one of the main error sources of the positioning, navigation and timing services and slant total electron content extraction. The DCB can usually be estimated together with ionospheric model coefficients from the data of ...

Since November 2017, eight BeiDou global navigation system (BDS-3) satellites equipped with Ka-band inter-satellite link (ISL) payloads have been launched into medium earth orbit. We present the precise orbit determination (POD) for BDS-3 satellites ...
