- Title
Picosatellite identification and Doppler estimation using passive radar techniques.

- Abstract
—In this article a novel method for satellite identification is presented for picosatellites. Utilizing apriori knowledge of the transmitted signals the cross-correlation of the received signal and a known transmission is calculated, from the results the Doppler shift is estimated and the satellite’s Doppler curve can be matched against the measurements of NORAD. Using this method an omnidirectional antenna can be used instead of a high gain directional antenna, and the gain difference is compensated by the processing gain of the algorithm described. The practicality of the algorithm is demonstrated through the mission of MRC-100 PocketQube.
