GOX Instrument

Measurements and Applications

Each instrument equipped with 4 GPS antennas to receive the L1 and L2 radio wave signals transmitted from the 24 US GPS satellites. Based on the signal transmission delay caused by the electric density, temperature, pressure, and water content in the iono
