PILOTSONDES:
In the past few years many countries has rapidly developed and adopted Upper-air operational system, GPS sounding systems, GPS based pilot sondes. We S S Micro Electronics Technology (P) Ltd. have also developed Indigenous Upper-air operational system, GPS sounding systems and GPS based pilot sondes under govt. of India make in India program. This system is used to measure wind direction, wind speed, altitude and pressure of the atmosphere. This system is highly automatic because it applies high-accuracy positioning of the GPS to track automatically the in-flight radiosonde without radar tracking on the ground.
SS PILOT 01 pilot sonde provides high precision of Pressure, wind speed and wind direction, excellent Data availability and quality with error detection
and correction.
The digital transmitter consumes low power and occupy narrow frequency band. The frequency of GPS based Pilot-sonde can be tuned continuously among the meteorological frequency band from 400 to 406MHz to avoid being interfered by another same frequency signal. Frequency range is limited so that inadvertent tuning to unauthorized frequency is prevented. The Pilot-sonde is calibrated before delivery; the calibration data is stored in the pilot-sonde and is read automatically by the ground equipment during pilot-sonde preparation.
The Ground Receiving System (SS PILOT GRS 01) developed by S S Micro Electronics Technology (P) Ltd. mainly consists of Omni directional antenna (hereinafter referred to as antenna), ground receiver, sounding software and terminal computer. The antenna automatically traces Pilot-sondes under the control of the terminal computer. The receiver transfers signals received from the pilot sonde into digital information and sends it to the computer. The terminal computer and software realizes the collection and processing of sounding data, data checking and error correcting, system fault monitoring and alarming. The UPS system has capacity for running the complete sounding system for more than 2 hours. Rating and frequency of the UPS input voltage is 200 to 240 V/AC.
