Abstract:

A non-trivial relation between system parameters and system observables is developed which is based only on dimensional analysis. It finds application in the BLP test. This test is used to partially validate the numerical elements in least squares equations for geodetic parameters when the observables are Doppler data from earth satellites. Author
