RF Performance Predictions For Real Time Shipboard Applications
Abstract
The specific technical objectives are to 1) develop a method to extract rainfall data from the tactical scans of the SPS-48 radar and provide the rain data in a form suitable for propagation models such as the Earth-to-Satellite Propagation Model with METOC (ESPM2) and the Advanced Propagation Model (APM); and 2) modify the current statistics-based rain attenuation model within the ESPM2 and the APM to ingest real time rainfall rate data obtained from shipboard radar (SPS-48 initially). The long term goals are to develop electromagnetic propagation models, that perform equally well over land and sea and in the presence of anomalous propagation conditions for both surface and airborne emitters, for use in operational or engineering propagation assessment systems.
