Tripulse: an accurate orientation/attitude estimation system for satellite borne phased arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tripulse is a novel orientation/attitude estimation system that is designed to accurately estimate the orientation of a satellite borne phased array relative to one or more earth stations. This system has an accuracy potential that is signi cantly better than conventional Earth-Moon-Sun attitude sensors. Tripulse has conceptual similarities to amplitude comparison monopulse systems used in tracking radars. Detailed Tripulse statistical performance analyses for noise, beamforming quantization errors, and hardware failures are presented.
