Possibility and application of all-weather lidar-radio sensing complexes

Abstract

The article discusses the main problems of the development and applying of all-weather meteorological complexes of remote optical and radar atmospheric sensing. Discussed different areas of application depending on type of airports. The concept of a new mobile three-band true all-weather meteorological single platform complex for operational measurements in airports is proposed. Shown the results of multi-bands systems measurements in PPI mode and vertical profiler performed under various conditions.

Application of radiophotonics methods and devices in multifrequency microwave remote sensing radiometric systems

“…The advantages of this direction allow to create a new generation of devices with unique functions. Low optical losses, resistance to electromagnetic interference and frequency bandwidth of more than 100 GHz contribute to active application of radio-photon technologies in various scientific and technical fields, which allows using new approaches to create promising radiomeasuring devices, including ground-based microwave radiometric systems for remote sensing of the atmosphere [1]. Radiophotonics (microwave photonics) is a new technological area at the junction of microwave radio electronics and photonics, which is based on the use of interaction between optical radiation and microwave signals in the reception and transmission of signals and processing of received information.…”
