Abstract

The techniques used to measure dispersive effects from radio metric observables taken at S- and X-band frequencies during the Mariner Venus/Mercury 1973 mission are described. A derivation of the phase and group delay effects is presented based on basic electromagnetic propagation principles and the communication link configuration between the spacecraft and DSS 14.
