1-13-24 METRO LA SECTION VIRTUAL MEETINTG WITH SIGNAL PROCESSING SOCIETY & ALL METRO SPONSORED UNITS FOLLOWED BY A DRIVE THRU GRAB & GO AT STONE FIRE GRILL.

Topic: Signal Processing Applications in Spacecraft-to-Ground Links

 Presenter: David D. Morabito, JPL

 About the Speaker: David D. Morabito has worked at Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, on numerous engineering and scientific research projects since 1973. Among the areas he has worked on are spacecraft navigation, Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Radio Science experiments on the Voyager 2, Ulysses, and Galileo spacecraft, performance characterization of beam-waveguide antennas, media propagation effects on spacecraft telecommunication links, and telecommunications systems design for proposed future space 

His most recent project is studying the use of Ka-band (32 GHz) for deep-space navigation aPEnd for spacecraft telecommunications, with a focus on media effects on signal propagation.

He has numerous publications in several professional journals, and conference proceedings. He is a member of the IEEE, and International Astronomical Union. He was a past member of the American Astronomical Society and American Geophysical Union. He has also participated in International Telecommunications Union (ITU-R) Working Party activities with regards to signal propagation.
