Results of Observations of Navigation Satellites in Special Sections of Their Orbits

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The data of measurements of the power of radionavigation signals are accumulated for navigation satellites passing through special sections of their orbits. By analyzing these data, we reveal the variations of the power levels caused, possibly, by the changes in the angles of viewing of these satellites. We also describe the results of the observations of the navigation satellites performed by using various antenna systems. The obtained data are in good mutual agreement.
