comment:
17 x 11 array of DDM bin effective scattering area, m^2. This is an estimate of the true surface scattering area that contributes power to each DDM bin, after accounting for the GPS signal spreading function. It is calculated by convolving the GPS ambiguity function with the surface area that contributes power to a given DDM bin as determined by its delay and Doppler values and the measurement geometry. The specular point bin location matches the specular point bin location in brcs.

DDM sample time. The number of seconds since time_coverage_start with nanosecond resolution. Its position relative to the DDM sampling period is determined by ddm_time_type_selector. Some metadata required for DDM calibration are generated relative to pvt_timestamp_utc or att_timestamp_utc. These metadata are interpolated to ddm_timestamp_utc before being used for DDM calibration. Note that the DDM sampling period is not synchronized with the UTC change of second and can occur at any time relative to the UTC change of second.

The specular point incidence angle, in degrees, at ddm_timestamp_utc. This is the angle between the line normal to the Earth's surface at the specular point and the line extending from the specular point to the spacecraft.

comment:
Second group of the Per-DDM quality flags. 1 indicates presence of condition. The first group of quality flags can be found in quality_flags. Flag bit masks:
1/0x00000001 = incorrect_ddmi_antenna_selection
The wrong (port or starboard) antenna was selected.
2/0x00000002 = high_signal_noise
The signal is in the highest noise group, but there are still some OK noise rows. Samples are suspect, but may contain quality data. Flag only used for land applications.
4/0x00000004 = noise_floor_cal_error
The signal is off or is very near the top rows of the full DDM. A proper noise floor cannot be computed. Flag only used for land applications.
8/0x00000008 = sp_in_sidelobe
The specular point is in the sidelobe causing low confidence in the antenna gain.
16/0x00000010 = negligible_nst_outage
Minor star track outage with negligible impact on attitude knowledge
32/0x00000020 = minor_nst_outage
Minor star track outage with small but acceptable impact on attitude knowledge
64/0x00000040 = fatal_nst_outage

The estimated effective isotropic RF power (EIRP) of the L1 C/A code signal within \302\261 1 MHz of the L1 carrier radiated by space vehicle, sv_num, in the direction of the specular point, in Watts, at ddm_timestamp_utc. Variations in GPS transmit power are tracked by the direct signal power measured by the navigation receiver. One second samples are smoothed by a \302\261 10 second running average.

The RCG Figure of Merit (FOM) for the DDM. Ranges from 0 through 15.The DDMI selects the four strongest specular points (SP) for DDM production. It ranks the strength of SPs using an antenna RCG map. The map converts the position of the SP in antenna azimuth and declination angles to an RCG FOM. 0 represents the least FOM value. 15 represents the greatest FOM value.

The time between ddm_timestamp_utc and the ddm_timestamp_utc associated with the closest (in time) black body reading, in signed seconds. A positive value indicates that the black body reading occurred after ddm_timestamp_utc. A negative value indicates that the block body reading occurred before ddm_timestamp_utc.
