EVALUATING RADAR ALTIMETER FUNCTIONALITY UNDER EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES

Achieving reliable performance from radar altimeters in harsh environments is crucial. These instruments play a fundamental role in positioning for aeronautical applications, especially when dealing with complex conditions such as heavy snowfall. Factors like atmospheric attenuation, surface irregularities, and electromagnetic fluctuations can sign

Precise altimetry refers to the accurate measurement of height or elevation. Radar technology plays a crucial role in achieving this precision. By emitting electromagnetic waves and analyzing the time it takes for these waves to return from a target, radar systems can determine the distance between the sensor and the target, thus enabling precise
