The Effects of environmental conditions, varying pulse lengths, power, antenna lengths, and antenna polarizations on the performance of sigma S6 radar

北大西洋学院和Rutter公司将合作开展一项研究项目，以确定环境条件、不同脉冲长度、雷达功率、雷达天线长度和天线极化对Rutter公司sigma S6 x波段雷达系统性能的影响。风、涌浪系统和表面流测量结果将与其他原位波流测量设备（例如声波/声流- AWAC-传感器）进行比较分析，并与影响海杂波回波的不同环境条件和雷达/天线参数进行比较分析。该项目不仅将使Rutter能够更好地服务于他们现有的客户，而且还将为他们的技术开辟新的市场，在那里更小、更弱的雷达设备是常见的。

College of the North Atlantic and Rutter Inc. will collaborate on a research project to determine the effects of environmental conditions, varying pulse lengths, radar power, radar antenna lengths, and antenna polarization on the performance of Rutter's sigma S6 X-Band radar system. Comparative analysis of wind and swell wave systems and surface current measurements will be conducted against the other in-situ wave and current measurement devices (e.g.Acoustic Wave / Acoustic Current - AWAC-- sensor), and in relation to the varying environmental conditions and radar/antenna parameters that influence sea clutter return. This project will not only result in Rutter being better able to serve their current clients but also opening new markets for their technology where smaller and less powerful radar devices are common.
