چکیده
The article examines the features of the radar altimeter reflected signal modeling over the sea surface. The model operates at different wave heights, pitch and roll angels, speeds of the aircraft and widths of the antenna pattern. A brief description of the radio altimeter influencing factors is made. Modeling results are analyzed. The complex of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation with the implementation of the resulting mathematical model is considered.

A Model for Wind Speed and Wave Height Retrieval from Radar Altimeter Measurements
A numerical algorithm is here proposed to simulate the measurement of ocean wave height and wind speed by radar altimeter. The algorithm takes into account a realistic ocean wave spectrum and employs a parametric sub-model to simulate the electromagnetic waves scattering from the surface, thus providing greater flexibility and realism than the analytical models currently used. The model is show...
متن کاملCoastal Waveform Retracking for Jason-2 Altimeter Data Based on Along-Track Echograms around the Tsushima Islands in Japan
Although the Brown mathematical model is the standard model for waveform retracking over open oceans, due to heterogeneous surface reflections within altimeter footprints, coastal waveforms usually deviate from open ocean waveform shapes and thus cannot be directly interpreted by the Brown model. Generally, the two primary sources of heterogeneous surface reflections are land surfaces and brigh...
متن کاملFoil Application to Reduce Resistance of Catamaran under High Speeds and Different Operating Conditions
Today, researchers exploit hybrid craft more than they used to be. The main reason is that they need to high speed as well as extra portability. For instance, a famous hybrid craft is named Hysucat, was designed through the combination of catamaran and hydrofoil. Catamarans, a type of multihull boats, have always considered by designers because of their simultaneous supply of high speed and sta...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Brown Model Waveform in Radar Altimetry
In satellite altimetry (radar altimetry), the altimeter emits a pulse, with known power, to the earth surface and receives it back continuously to determine of the sea surface height. The time series of the mean returned power is recorded individually at satellite as the so-called waveform. Analytical model for the waveform is first introduced by Brown, which consists of six parameters: signif...
متن کاملThe Envisat Radar Altimeter System (RA-2)
The mission RA-2 has an essential role to play in the Envisat mission, as indicated in Table 1. Operating over oceans, its data can be used to monitor seasurface topography, thereby supporting research into ocean circulation and sea-level change, as well as providing observations of the sea floor structure or shape, and marine geoid characteristics. It will also be possible to determine near-se...
