Figure 5

Range residuals of kHz SLR pass. (A) Five seconds part of Ajisai pass measured by Graz on 17 January 2006: 6,337 data points, RMS = 8.81 mm. (B) Histogram of the range residual distribution (obtained with 15-mm smoothing coefficient). (C) V-shape data peak represents change of the distance to the single CCR panel due to the spin of the satellite; the minimum deviation MD of the panel is indicated. The significant levels of the data distribution are marked: mean of the range residuals after 2.5 sigma clipping, peak, mean of the leading edge points (meanLE), leading edge at half maximum (LEHM). The full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 41.7 mm.
