10. GPS=26 562 km. In this case, f has a physical interpretation as the frequency of source reversals relative to ECI-frame coordinate time. The effect of an elliptic orbit on the relation between ECI-frame coordinate time and satellite-frame coordinate time is not included; this effect is often called the E sin E effect and must be treated separately.

13. Our definition of the effective length vector of a short linear antenna differs inconsequentially from the definition given in Ref. 11, in that our definition includes a component that is perpendicular to the plane of polarization. This component makes no contribution to the voltage given by Eq. (24).
