Specification for Environmental Measurements to Assess Radar Sensors
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to prescribe the minimum requirements for measuring environmental parameters that affect the evaluation of proposed radar systems. These environmental factors must be properly measured to ensure fair appraisals of competing designs and to assess expected long-term performance. The procedures for short-term in-situ measurements pertinent to microwave propagation and sea clutter are addressed in sections 2.0 through 4.0. Measurement accuracies are specified and several types of instruments are discussed in these sections. Specific manufacturers and retailers are mentioned as sources for various types of instruments and equipment in section 5.0. This listings is not all-inclusive and is not intended to be an endorsement of those companies or products. Section 6.0 is a glossary of terms used in instrument specifications. Appendixes A through F are included as background material for determining refractive structure from surface meteorological measurements.
