The D.R.C.S. Acoustic Sounding Facility at Edinburgh Airfield

Abstract

The DRCS acoustic sounding facility at Edinburgh Airfield has been developed to enable the simultaneous comparison of the ability of three acoustic sounding techniques to measure wind velocity profiles in the lower atmosphere. The three techniques are monostatic doppler, bistatic doppler and angle-of-arrival operation. The antenna configuration, electronic equipment and performance parameters are described.
