UAV – Aided Weather Radar Calibration

Implementing Organization

National Institute of Technology Rourkela
CO-Principal Investigator
Dr. V. K. Anandan
ISTRAC, ISRO

About

The objective of this project is to develop a stand -alone portable, light weight and reliable calibration system for RADAR. For this purpose, UAV is being used as the platform to carry a metal sphere of known reflectivity as calibrator. The external RADAR calibration carried out in this project will ensure Antenna pointing accuaracy calibration, antenna pattern retrieval in Azimuth and Elevation planes, establishing the RADAR constant for weather RADAR and element level Phase calibration of the large digital array RADAR.
