| | Summary: |
| | Due to evolution of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), their
features and capabilities are constantly increasing to the point that being possible to use
their radio signals by other means than the main, original implementation. The
innovative methodologies use direct, reflected, or refracted GNSS radio signals to
analyse the atmospheric properties or to observe the Earth’s surface behaviour. This
paper tests the feasibility of the active GPS refracted signals and their capability to
identify the refractivity profile pressure, temperature and water vapour during their pass
through the atmospheric layers. The objective is to put together theory, methodology,
and application of the GPS radio occultation (GPS-RO) concept, considering the
advantages and disadvantages of existing missions with possibility to develop and
implement similar techniques in future cubesat missions |
