Abstract
The processes of the pulse transformation in satellite laser ranging (SLR) are analyzed, the analytical expressions of the transformation are deduced, and the effects of the transformation on Center-of-Mass corrections of sat ellite and ranging precision are discussed. The numerical solution of the t ransformation and its effects are also given. The results reveal the rules of pulse transformation affected by different kinds of factors. These are s ignificant for designing the SLR system with millimeter accuracy.
