Analysis of Measurement Error in Receiving Stations at LEO SPS Test Satellite

Abstract

  At present, a demonstration experiment using small satellites is planned to realize solar power generation (SPS). In the demonstration experiment, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the beam shape transmitted from the satellites. The beam shape was reproduced using a two-dimensional least-squares pattern processing technique. In this paper, we showed that by using this satellite as a LEO and arranging the receiving stations in one dimension, simpler and more accurate measurements can be performed than before.
