摘要
A method is presented for near-Earth spacecraft or aviation vehicle's attitude rate estimation by using relative Doppler frequency shift; of the Global Positioning System (GPS) carrier. It comprises two GPS receiving antennas, a signal processing circuit and an algorithm. The whole system is relatively simple, the cost and weight, as well as power consumption, are very low.
