Feed Rotation Model for Radio Telescopes and GNSS Antennas

Joe Skeens created this dataset for the Journal of Geodesy paper titled 'A unified model of feed rotation in radio telescopes and GNSS antennas.' The dataset was last updated on October 15, 2025, and is hosted by the Texas Data Repository via the Dataverse platform. It likely contains scripts and data supporting the unified mathematical model described in the paper.

Use Cases

• Calibrating antenna pointing errors in radio telescopes based on the described feed rotation model.
• Improving precision in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning based on antenna orientation corrections.
• Validating theoretical models of feed rotation effects in parabolic antenna systems.
• Supporting educational or replication efforts for the associated Journal of Geodesy publication.

Strengths

• Dataset is directly associated with a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Geodesy.
• Last update timestamp is recent (2025-10-15 06:48:33).
• Hosted on an institutional repository (Texas Data Repository) via the Dataverse platform.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
