Abstract:
This paper discusses recent activities at JPL that are focused on extending the Opportunistic Multiple Spacecraft Per Antenna (OMSPA) concept to include arraying multiple antennas. Specifically, we explore the ability to process multiple open loop recordings associated with multiple antennas and perform the appropriate alignment and combining. We focus on using the symbol stream combining technique and provide examples of performance measurements on actual spacecraft signals for MarCO A and B as well as the Mars Express.
