Аналіз сучасного стану науки і техніки у галузі радіоакустичного зондування атмосфери з використанням квазінеперервних зондувальних сигналів

Abstract

The current state of science and technology in the field of radio-acoustic sounding (RAS) of the atmosphere is examined, with a specific focus on systems utilizing quasi-continuous sounding signals. The transition from traditional pulsed radars to quasi-continuous signals, such as Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW), allows for a significant reduction in peak power while improving altitude resolution and minimizing blind zones. The study reviews the physical principles of the Bragg scattering effect, evaluates the technical advantages of quasi-continuous radars, and analyzes modern commercial solutions from leading manufacturers (Metek, Biral, Remtech, Scintec). Key engineering challenges, including acoustic wave wind drift compensation and real-time signal processing, are discussed, outlining prospects for the integration of modular RAS systems in contemporary meteorological monitoring.
