Typical progression of received radar signal over the course of an occultation. The frequency spectra show power received in the same circular (SC) and opposite circular (OC) polarization a before/after occultation, b during entry into occultation, c during occultation, and d during exit from occultation of orbit 355. All surface echoes during occultation entry are Doppler-shifted to lower frequencies than the direct signal, while all surface echoes during occultation exit exhibit Doppler shifts to higher frequencies than the direct signal
