ASSESSING RADAR ALTIMETER ACCURACY IN DIFFICULT CONDITIONS

Achieving reliable performance from radar altimeters in severe environments is essential. These instruments play a fundamental role in navigation for aeronautical applications, especially when dealing with turbulent conditions such as heavy fog. Factors like atmospheric distortion, surface reflectivity, and signal fluctuations can significantly deg

Precise altimetry refers to the accurate measurement of height or elevation. Radar technology plays a crucial role in achieving this precision. By emitting electromagnetic waves and analyzing the time it takes for these waves to return from a target, radar systems can determine the distance between the sensor and the target, thus enabling precise
