A new Doppler telemetry station installed at the Cagliari Observatory is described, which is being used to study the earth's rotation and the motion of the pole. The receiving system contains a ground plane type antenna for 150 and 400 MHz, a tuned antenna preamplifier, and a two-channel demodulator receiver with a phase-locking superheterodyne system; satellite signal search and acquisition is carried out automatically. The European EDOC-2 campaign is discussed, along with the possibilities offered by the Doppler station regarding geodynamic and geodetic research. Attention is also given to a method of finding the geographical coordinates of the station, as well as a comparison of the coordinates of the station as measured by various geodetic systems, including EROS-1 and EDOC-2.
