Evaluating -functions with few known coefficients
We address the problem of evaluating an -function when only a small number
of its Dirichlet coefficients are known. We use the approximate functional
equation in a new way and find that is possible to evaluate the -function
more precisely than one would expect from the standard approach. The method,
however, requires considerably more computational effort to achieve a given
accuracy than would be needed if more Dirichlet coefficients were available.Comment: 14 pages; Added a new section where we evaluate L(1/2 + 100 i, Delta)
to 42 decimal places using no Dirichlet series coefficients at al
Crustal dynamics project data analysis, 1986. Volume 1: Fixed station VLBI geodetic results
The Goddard VLBI group reports the results of analyzing 361 Mark III VLBI data sets from fixed observatories through the end of 1985 which are available to the Crustal Dynamics Project. All POLARIS/IRIS full-day data sets are included. The mobile VLBI sites at Platteville, Colorado; Penticton, British Columbia; and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories are also included since these occupations bear on the study of plate stability. Two large solutions, GLB027 and GLB028, were used to obtain site/baseline evolutions and earth rotation parameters, respectively. Source positions and nutation offsets were also adjusted in each solution. The results include 23 sites and 101 baselines
Crustal dynamics project data analysis fixed station VLBI geodetic results
The Goddard VLBI group reports the results of analyzing the fixed observatory VLBI data available to the Crustal Dynamics Project through the end of 1984. All POLARIS/IRIS full-day data are included. The mobile site at Platteville, Colorado is also included since its occupation bears on the study of plate stability. Data from 1980 through 1984 were used to obtain the catalog of site and radio source positions labeled S284C. Using this catalog two types of one-day solutions were made: (1) to estimate site and baseline motions; and (2) to estimate Earth rotation parameters. A priori Earth rotation parameters were interpolated to the epoch of each observation from BIH Circular D
Crustal dynamics project data analysis, 1987. Volume 1: Fixed station VLBI geodetic results, 1979-1986
The Goddard VLBI group reports the results of analyzing Mark III data sets from fixed observatories through the end of 1986 and available to the Crustal Dynamics Project. All full-day data from POLARIS/IRIS are included. The mobile VLBI sites at Platteville (Colorado), Penticton (British Columbia), and Yellowknife (Northwest Territories) are also included since these occupations bear on the study of plate stability. Two large solutions, GLB121 and GLB122, were used to obtain Earth rotation parameters and baseline evolutions, respectively. Radio source positions were estimated globally while nutation offsets were estimated from each data set. The results include 25 sites and 108 baselines

Signal Characteristics of Civil GPS Jammers
This paper surveys the signal properties of 18 commercially
available GPS jammers based on experimental
data. The paper is divided into two distinct tests.
The first characterizes the jamming signals, and the
second test determines the effective range of 4 of the
jammers. The first test uses power spectra from discrete
Fourier transforms (DFTs) of the time series data
to show that all the jammers employ approximately the same jamming method, i.e. linear frequency modulation
of a single tone. The spectra also show that
there are significant jammer-to-jammer variations, including
between jammers of the same model, and that
a given jammer’s signal may vary over time. The first
test also includes measurements of signal power within
frequency bands centered at the L1 and L2 frequencies,
along with the sweep periods and the sweep range at
both frequencies. The second test presents measurements
of the attenuation of the jamming signal necessary
to allow a commercially available GPS receiver to
acquire and track signals from a GPS simulator. From
the attenuation levels and some assumptions about the
antennas used, upper limits on the effective jamming
ranges are calculated for 4 of the jammers, with a resulting
maximum range of 6–9 km.Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanic
Geophysical and astronomical models applied in the analysis of very long baseline interferometry
Very long baseline interferometry presents an opportunity to measure at the centimeter level such geodetic parameters as baseline length and instantaneous pole position. In order to achieve such precision, the geophysical and astronomical models used in data analysis must be as accurate as possible. The Mark-3 interactive data analysis system includes a number of refinements beyond conventional practice in modeling precession, nutation, diurnal polar motion, UT1, solid Earth tides, relativistic light deflection, and reduction to solar system barycentric coordinates. The algorithms and their effects on the recovered geodetic, geophysical, and astrometric parameters are discussed
Multiplicity one for -functions and applications
We give conditions for when two Euler products are the same given that they
satisfy a functional equation and their coefficients satisfy a partial
Ramanujan bound and do not differ by too much. Additionally, we prove a number
of multiplicity one type results for the number-theoretic objects attached to
-functions. These results follow from our main result about -functions
