Spaceborne Receiver Design For Scatterometric GNSS Reflectometry.
Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is an innovative technique for remote sensing. It uses reflected signals from the navigation constellations to determine properties of the Earth’s surface. The primary focus of this work is the remote sensing of the ocean by measurement of surface roughness.

Considerations for Coherent Integration in Spaceborne GNSS-Reflectometry
The fundamental observable in Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is the so-called DelayDoppler Map (DDM), which is derived from the cross-correlation of the reflected signal with either the direct signal or a locally generated replica of the transmitted signal as implemented in our algorithm.
