Precise Elevation Determination Using Radar Altimeters
Radar altimeters employ electromagnetic pulses to determine the distance between the instrument and a target. This principle allows for high-precision height determination, making radar altimeters invaluable in various applications. High-Resolution measurements are achieved through the interpretation of the time delay between transmitted and recei
Precise Altimetry with Radar Technology
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
