Abstract
This article introduces a technique for reducing the effect of ionospheric and space plasma charged particles on radio metric measurements, Development of the method is motivated by the difficulty in obtaining complete, two-way range calibrations when dual-frequency measurements are available for only the radio downlink. Using least-squares theory, estimation techniques are derived that allow the downlink calibration to, in effect, be “fed back” to correct unobserved uplink errors. Plausible numerical examples are presented, indicating that such techniques are applicable to precision range measurements for the initial applications of twostation tracking.
