Abstract

The precision signal power measurement (PSPM) technique is a computer-based method for the automatic measurement of signal powers at the standard DSN receiver. Using sampled-data techniques, a table of spectral estimates is created from which accurate signal/noise ratios are derived and the signal strength computed. The process is continuous, fast, and automatic. Recent improvements give an extended dynamic range running from below —185 dBm to above -- 125 dBm and accuracies within 0.2 dB over this range.
