Abstract :
This paper presents an end-to-end simulator to assess the performances of Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) space missions for altimetry or sea state determination. The presented simulator is capable of simulating the GNSS-R observation scenario including the states of the transmitting and receiving satellites, the full instrument modeling, and scattering physical modeling based on an actual geophysical database. It provides useful tools for research and development on GNSS-R remote sensing.
