    摘要: A method for testing radar system performance is disclosed which utilizes radar data test points in a radar data file. The method includes interpolating GPS data from a flight test to provide a GPS data point for every radar data test point, generating body coordinate values for every point in a corresponding digital elevation map (DEM) file using the interpolated GPS data, and applying a bounding function around at least a portion of the body coordinate values generated from the DEM file at a given time. The method also includes determining which body coordinate value generated from the DEM file is closest a current GPS data point for the given time and comparing the determined body coordinate value to the radar data test points at the given time.

    摘要: A method for testing a radar system utilizing flight test radar data is described. The method includes time synchronizing measured radar data with a GPS based time marker, storing at least a portion of the time synchronized radar data, storing the GPS data, processing the stored GPS data to correspond with a physical position of an antenna which received the radar data, providing a radar model, and comparing the processed radar model data to the stored radar data.

    摘要: An apparatus for calibrating a radar altimeter is described. The altimeter provides an angle to a target based on radar energy received at right, left, and ambiguous antennas. The apparatus comprises a turntable on which the radar is mounted, a turntable controller which controls positioning of the radar altimeter, a radar energy source receiving transmit signals from the radar altimeter, a reflector, and a calibration unit. The reflector reflects and collimates radar energy from the radar source towards the radar altimeter. The calibration unit receives an angle from the controller indicative of a position of the radar altimeter with respect to the collimated radar energy and a measured angle from the radar altimeter. The calibration unit calculates a correction based on differences between the angle received from the turntable and the measured angle received from the altimeter and provides the calibration correction to the altimeter.

    摘要: A four cylinder, two-cycle internal combustion engine for an outboard motor includes a pair of energy storage power capacitors. An engine driven alternator produces a generally sine wave output voltage having one-half cycle connected to charge one capacitor and the opposite half-cycle connected to charge the second capacitor by a suitable diode steering network. The output voltage frequency is greater than the firing frequency and a plurality of voltage cycles provide for charging of the capacitors to the desired level. A separate trigger capacitor is provided. The trigger capacitor is coupled to be charged from the main alternator through a low impedance network and additionally from the main capacitor charging circuit through a high impedance network which may also function as a safety circuit means. Each capacitor is recharged by a plurality of half-cycles and during such period of engine revolution the alternate capacitor is being finally charged and discharged. The safety circuit means provide for relatively minute or slow discharging of the capacitor means between cycles and thereby essentially fully discharge the capacitor means when the system is turned off and thus prevent maintaining of dangerously high voltages in the system at turn-off.
