Pos Size Scaling Unit Parameter Description
1 +4 -3 m uralt Tracker Range
Named tracker_20hz_ku in GDR-D standard. Ku band operating tracker (’Diode+DEM’ or ’Median’ or ’Split-Gate’ tracker).

Sentinel-6A (HR) | NTC/F08 | 20Hz

Pos Size Scaling Unit Parameter Description
1 +4 -3 m uralt Tracker Range
This is the 1-way distance from the satellite`s center of mass to the middle of the range window (sample ns/2 from 0). It includes the following range calibrations: (a) range_corr_internal_delay_cal, (b) range_corr_internal_delay_diff, (c) range_corr_external_group_delay, (d) range_corr_com. Note: the actual altimeter clock (variable `altimeter_clock_ku`) has been used to compute the altimeter range
