• Sommario/riassunto: An introduction to antenna Arraying in the Deep Space networkAntenna arraying is the combining of the output from several antennas in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal. Now implemented at the Goldstone Complex and other Deep Space Network (DSN) overseas facilities, antenna arraying provides flexible use of multiple antennas to increase data rates and has enabled NASA's DSN to extend the missions of some spacecraft beyond their planned lifetimes.Antenna Arraying Techniques in the Deep Space Network introduces the development and use of anten
