摘要
A radar altimeter is described which includes a transmitter for transmitting a radar signal, a receiver for receiving the reflected radar signal, and at least one antenna coupled to one or both of the transmitter and receiver. The altimeter also includes a forward facing millimeter wave (MMW) antenna configured to move in a scanning motion and a frequency up/down converter coupled to the MMW antenna, the transmitter, and the receiver, and a radar signal processor. The converter up converts a frequency received from the transmitter to a MMW frequency for transmission through the MMW antenna, and down converts frequencies received to a radar frequency which are output to the receiver. The radar signal processor controls scanning motion of the MMW antenna, processes signals received at the antenna for a portion of the scanning motion, and processes signals received at the MMW antenna for other portions of the scanning motion.
