Next Generation Wind Measurement Technology

Colorado Engineering Inc. (CEI), with its consultant Professor Albin J. Gasiewski (Consultant/UPI -Professor, University of Colorado, Boulder), propose to leverage its collective expertise in Terahertz Atmospheric & Ionospheric Propagation, Absorption and Scattering Study - Advanced Modeling (TAIPAS-AM), radar systems design, electromagnetics (EM) analysis and modeling, antenna design, RF design, advanced processing architectures, and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to investigate the development of an advanced short range wind sensor that operates in the W band (40-110 GHz).to as high as 200 GHz The Phase I work will include architecting and modeling of the wind sensor performance trades from W band to the THz band, the entire system concept and a detailed block design of the advanced wind sensing system. CEI will combine its extensive expertise with embedded hardware and software, anti-tamper (AT), Information Assurance (IA) and Built-in Test (BIT) to develop an advanced high fidelity wind sensing system. The design will most likely require a combination of radio frequency (RF) and digital to meet tight Cost, Size, Weight and Power (CSWaP) requirements.
