Illumination is from side of the HGA main beam. Spreading in spectra is due primarily to Doppler drift (-35 Hz/s) of the reflecting region and not to dispersion by surface roughness. Incidence and reflection angles range from about 89.8 deg (lower; probably limited by shadowing) to about 89.6 deg (upper; as HGA illumination leaves planet). SNR is as high as 500, suggesting that these events may be common in the data set, especially as we approach opposition. Absence of spectral components near carrier (center) is reassuring for those intent on extracting atmospheric parameters. Data from DSS 65 recording beginning 1999/054-03:22:00 (orbit 1513, egress occultation). Plot is linear power (arbitrary vertical scale) vs frequency. Each trace is the incoherent sum of 10 512-point power spectra. Direct carrier signal from spacecraft has been clipped to facilitate display." END_OBJECT = PS_DOCUMENT END
