ASR-11
Wind Shear Processor
Feasibility
Analysis
- Provided
analysis to show that the ASR-11 may detect wind shear stemming from
wet microbursts in the presence of overlaying weather and ground clutter
- Provided
signal processing innovations that permit such capability with data
from just one receive beam
- Provided
analysis to show that the ASR-11 may sense gust fronts at ranges long
enough to support decisions on take-off and landing patterns
Configuration
Synthesis
- Provided
analysis exploring the advantage of dual-beam operation, i.e., collection
of returns from both beams for all range gates of interest vs single-beam
operation
Provided processor sizing data and an architecture concept to support
hardware cost estimates
