Abstract
Recent articles have described the functional dependence of plasma-induced doppler noise (“media’’ noise) upon geometric parameters which approximate integrated signal path electron density (the “ISED” model). In this article, doppler noise generated within the tracking system (“system” noise) is modeled as a function of the dominant variable — doppler sample interval. Additionally, the relationship between media noise and doppler sample interval is empirically determined, and the ratio of media noise for S- and X-band downlinks is solved for. These functional relationships are incorporated into the previous media noise modeling to obtain a comprehensive two-way doppler noise model — ISEDC.
