Public award description
RECONFIGURABLE WEATHER RADAR FOR AIRBORNE APPLICATIONS INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION, INC (IAI) AND ITS UNIVERSITY PARTNER, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA (OU), NORMAN, PROPOSE A FORWARD-LOOKING AIRBORNE ENVIRONMENT SENSOR BASED ON ACTIVE WEATHER RADAR TECHNOLOGIES. THE SENSOR CONSISTS OF A SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADAR TRANSCEIVER, COMPACT DUAL-POLARIZED ARRAY ANTENNA OPERATING IN THE X-BAND AS WELL AS AN INTEGRATED RF ANALOG FRONT-END. BY LEVERAGING DUAL-POLARIZATION PROCESSING, THE SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO EXTRACT ATMOSPHERIC PARAMETERS; THUS IT WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND CLASSIFY THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS AS WELL AS LOCAL OBSCURANTS. THE SOFTWARE DEFINED RADAR TRANSCEIVER HAS A DIRECT DIGITAL SYNTHESIS (DDS) COMPONENT WHICH CAN EASILY GENERATE HIGH BANDWIDTH CHIRP WAVEFORMS (BANDWIDTH >=200 MHZ) AND PULSE SHAPING CAN BE DEFINED DIGITALLY TO REDUCE THE SIDE-LOBES CONSIDERABLY.
