Combined radio-acoustic antenna for the air field complex of acoustic and radioacoustic sounding of the atmosphere

Abstract

Today the acoustic sounding systems (sodars) are used in many countries to cater for needs of aviation. The interest grows to RAS: the information about high-altitude temperature distribution obtained as a result of radioacoustic atmosphere sounding can be of help for ensuring aircraft take off and landing safety because of connection of the wind shifts with the temperature stratification.A single reflecting antenna for both radio- and acoustic receiving and transmitting at the airfield complex of acoustic and radioacoustic sounding is presented
