These seven pingrings gave two main types of data – Burst Frequency Offset (BFO) and Burst Timing Offset (BTO).
BFO values are the the measure of the relative motion of the satellite and the aeroplane.
BTO values are the are the time taken for a transmission round trip and can be used to calculate the distance between the satellite and the aircraft.
While frequency data is known to be recorded ... Read even more
