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

北大西洋学院和鲁特公司。将在一个研究项目上合作，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的Sigma S6 X波段雷达系统性能的影响。将对风和涌浪系统以及表面电流测量结果与其他现场波浪和电流测量装置（例如声波/声电流- 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能够更好地为现有客户服务，还将为其技术开辟新市场，在这些市场上，更小、功能更弱的雷达设备很常见。

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.
