NAME DSS-14 X-band Goldstone Solar System Radar Transmitter
TYPE Radar
DESCRIPTION The Goldstone Solar System Radar (GSSR) transmits 450 kW and can range-code the transmitted signal at up to 40 MHz bandwidth for a range resolution of 25 ns or 3.75 m. The transmit frequency is 8560 MHz (3.5 cm). The GSSR transmitter can also be phase, frequency, and amplitude modulated. GSSR is fully steerable and can view the entire sky north of declination = -35 degrees. Until 2010, X-band transmissions could be modulated at 8 MHz for 18.75 meter resolution.
