Abstract: | Measurement procedures and instrumentation for the in-orbit measurement of satellite communication parameters are presented. The measurement procedures are described by equations in which the unknown parameter is expressed by measurable or calculable quantities. The measurement error is evaluated on the basis of the parameter equation and component error estimates. The error estimate is considered useful for purposes of verifying the satellite design and for settling contractual arguments, should they arise |
