Run simulations of the existing Svalbard ISR

  • Choose the Jicamarca Svalbard Fixed (up B) ISR in long pulse tau7 mode

  • Run for 24 hours during Jan. 1st at a 90 81 degree elevation using 60 240 seconds of integration

  • Determine how many seconds you can reduce the integration period to and still have less than 5% 20% error at all times at altitudes of:

    • 1500 km

    • 1000 km

    • 500 km

  • Describe what happens when the integration period gets short.

Svalbard fixed with 2x the diameter

Create a new radar by giving the Svalbard fixed radar twice the diameter. To do this, you will need to know the following parameters about the Svalbard fixed Move the Jicamarca radar to latitude 85, longitude 0 by switching to the virtual radar tool. You will need the following details about the Jicamarca ISR:

  • Freq: 49.92E6 500E6 Hz

  • Effective Present diameter: 329 42 m

  • Typical peak power: 21.0E6 W

  • Long Tau7 pulse length: 16001920.0E-6 seconds

  • Long Tau7 pulse mode duty cycle: 0.038096

  • Jan 1, 90 81 degree elevation.

  • Latitude 78 degrees, longitude 16 degrees

Determine how many seconds you can reduce the integration period to and still have less than 5% 20% error at all times at altitudes of:

...

  • 1000 km

  • 500 km

With an integration time of ten seconds and all the parameters as above except peak power, how much do you need to set the peak power to to get a 5% error at How much difference does this extra aperture make at 1000 km? At 500 km?

Now change the elevation at 10 5 degrees (its a virtual Jicamarca radar, after all!). What is the integration time to have less than 5% error at all times at 1000 km altitudeWhat happens at 1000 km altitude? What parameter could you change to make things better at 1000 km?
