Antenna arraying is the combining of the output from several
antennas in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the
received signal. Now implemented at the Goldstone Complex and other
Deep Space Network (DSN) overseas facilities, antenna arraying
provides flexible use of multiple antennas to increase data rates
and has enabled NASA's DSN to extend the missions of some
spacecraft beyond their planned lifetimes.
Antenna Arraying Techniques in the Deep Space Network introduces
the development and use of antenna arraying as it is implemented in
the DSN. Drawing on the work of scientists at JPL, this timely
volume summarizes the development of antenna arraying and its
historical background; describes key concepts and techniques;
analyzes and compares several methods of arraying; discusses
several correlation techniques used for obtaining the combined
weights; presents the results of several arraying experiments; and
suggests directions for future work.
An important contribution to the scientific literature, Antenna
Arraying Techniques in the Deep Space Network
* Was commissioned by the JPL Deep Space Communications and
Navigation Systems (DESCANSO) Center of Excellence
* Highlights many NASA-funded technical contributions pertaining to
deep space communications systems
* Is a part of the prestigious JPL Deep Space Communications and
Navigation Series
The Deep Space Communications and Navigation Series is authored by
scientists and engineers with extensive experience in astronautics,
communications, and related fields. It lays the foundation for
innovation in the areas of deep space navigation and communications
by disseminating state-of-the-art knowledge in key technologies.
DAVID H. ROGSTAD, a principal engineer, was a technical group supervisor, and a member of the team that contributed to the saving of the Galileo Mission after its spacecraft antenna failure. ALEXANDER MILEANT is a senior engineer currently working on the design of the DSN Prototype Array. TIMOTHY T. PHAM is a technical group supervisor as well as the DSN Chief System Engineer.
