Design and Realization of Delay Mapping Receiver Based on GPS for Sea Surface Wind Measurement

The Delay Mapping Receiver (DMR) is for receiving and processing the reflected GPS signal to get the information of wind of sea surface by recording the reflected GPS signal and matching it to the theoretical model. The hardware structure, software design and difference from normal GPS receiver are introduced in this paper. The test results at near sea of Tianjin of China are provided, which prove the design of DMR is successful and the collected data are useful for the sea surface wind measurement.
