Pulsed Acoustic Vortex Sensing System. Volume I. Hardware Design.

Abstract

Avco Corporation's Systems Division designed and developed an engineered Pulsed Acoustic Vortex Sensing System (PAVSS). This system is capable of real-time detection, tracking, recording, and graphic display of aircraft trailing vortices. This volume of the report presents hardware design aspects of the system. The design of the acoustic antenna and transducer is described. System control, computer hardware, and system/subsystem hardware interfaces are discussed.
