Sub-cm ranging and other improvements in Graz

摘要

A lot of tests and experiments have been made in Graz during the last 2 years to increase performance and accuracy; using the SPAD from the Prag group as receiver, we have reached now about 5 mm RMS from the calibration target, and about 8 mm RMS from ERS1 and STARLETTE. In addition, by routinely using the semitrain, the number of returns has been increased significantly for most satellites.
