Spanish company promotes a measure of the occultation of radio frequency signals via satellite Paz

The Spanish company satellite services Hisdesat government is working on innovatives cientific expertise in the field of atmospheric radio occultation which was first measured concealment of RF signals in the two polarizations, with in the observation satellite soil with synthetic aperture radar technology Paz.

The radio occultation experiment will see how to hide the GPS signals as they pass through the atmosphere and analyze changes in the received signal, introduce the various elements including weather and extreme precipitation. Thus, it is possible to improve predictions on atmospheric behavior, such as rains, floods and take the necessary measures to avoid potential disasters associated.

The draft Radio occultation and Extreme Precipitation is led by the Institute of Space Sciences and has the support of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) U.S. and Hisdesat.

Currently, the project is being validated and subsequently integrated into the Paz satellite with the big news that offers the study of signals in the two polarizations.
