Recently NL-RIA’s partner RFx solutions managed to realize the first radarboard for the 35 GHz miniaturized altimeter. The design is based on work from Ozan Doğan, during his post-doc assignment. The development was sincerely delayed by Covid-19 and by the worldwide shortages in chips. But after a long period of …
Postdoc Yuanhao Li came up with some interesting orbit designs during his study for ESA into new concepts for miniature radar altimeter constellations. In this post we show two examples of constellation orbits that were optimized according to specific requirements. In the first example the goal was to extend a …
(click on the title or on “Continue Reading” to see this post in full, including links) Further to the post on Ka-band radar altimeter breadboard for NL-RIA a paper on the subject has been presented by Ozan Dogan to the 2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS) and …
Ozan Dogan of the Microwave Sensing, Signals & Systems department at TU Delft is tasked with the design of a Ka-band radar altimeter. Radar altimeters are known to be an elegant tool for estimation of the sea surface height, significant wave height and wind speed. In the radar system engineering …
Author: Yuanhao Li. Nowadays spaceborne data from several altimeters (e.g., from Jason-1/2, Cryosat, etc.) can already resolve oceanographic phenomena with sizes in the order of 100 km. However, we cannot observe very well the submeso-scale oceanic features which may derive from smaller-scale eddies and currents. In this view, the observation …
Alden Yellowhorse of the Mechatronic Systems Design department at TU Delft is tasked with the research on future foldable antenna systems for micro satellites. Discussion topics in coming project meetings will include antenna designs suitable for small satellites. This includes antenna performance requirements and analyses of multiple designs under consideration. …
