22 Error analysis Wu Wei-ren, Wang Guangli, et al. 213

23 Conclusion 1. The delay residuals after orbit determination are.5ns and.7ns respectively. The CNR of F2 is 1dB weaker than F1. 2. The phase from the result is better than FX correlator, while no improvement in orbit determination, system errors from CVN should be estimated. 3. The method reported here is more suitable for weak signal process compared with FX correlator.

29 Conclusions with IPS 1.We use a single VLBI station to observe MEX. Doppler is used for IPS research. The method can be used in future Chinese Mars solar conjunction. 2.Solar wind and IPS theory are proposed in the 8s in last century. The research work reported here just confirmed earlier theory. Where is the break through point in solar wind and IPS research?
