English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications
  • Radio Broadcasting
CONT

Such signal processors, when attached to an antenna array, can beam radio signals precisely at individual users. As each user moves around, the smart antennas track them... So in most cases a software upgrade is all that is required to turn them into smart antennas.

OBS

System used in wireless technology.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télécommunications
  • Radiodiffusion
DEF

Antenne guidée par un circuit de traitement du signal, lequel traite le signal émis par un appareil portable d'un utilisateur, calcule la position de ce dernier avec précision, puis en déduit des instructions adéquates pour les antennes.

Record 6 2007-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
DEF

A remote sensing instrument whose viewing angle is rotated from right to left.

OBS

Whereas RADARSAT-1 is a solely right-looking system, RADARSAT-2 will be outfitted with an antenna that can be steered electronically to acquire images to either the right or the left of the sub-satellite track... The switch from one look direction to the other is specified to take less than 10 minutes, that is, about one tenth of the time required to complete one full orbit. Although the look direction switching is an operational feature, the right-looking configuration is regarded as the default mode of operation. Hence, it is expected that about 75% of the imaging will be performed in this particular mode. The left-looking mode will be deployed on occasion, primarily to meet data requirements associated with Antarctic mapping and emergency situations(CSA, 2001).

OBS

left-looking sensor: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Key term(s)

CP-1716A Radar Target Data Processor. The CP-1716A Radar Target Data Processor detects AN/SPN-43 primary radar video signals, triggers, and azimuth data, and develops a single digital report for each operating aircraft within the range of the antenna scan. It then transfers the messages to the CP-1716 Track Processor. All operating controls, self-test controls, and indicators are located on the front panel of the equipment. The Radar Target Data Processor consists of 28 types of plug-in circuit cards and a power supply.
