HF ocean radars are usually installed along the coast and deliver remote sensing information by transmitting a radio signal with an operating frequency between 3 and 30 MHz. The frequency band allows for a large coverage of ocean surface that could extend more than 200 kilometers offshore depending on the transmit frequency and other operating conditions. To provide a dense coverage of the sea surface,...
High-Frequency (HF) radars are operated in the 3–30 MHz frequency band. For oceanographic applications low transmit power HF radar systems have been developed, which use surface electromagnetic wave propagation along the salty ocean surface. This paper presents a new approach to use Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technique for compact HF ocean radar deployments and positive economic benefits...
This paper introduces the over-the-horizon radar technique optimized for oceanographic applications. The relation between radar range and operating frequency will be explained as well as the radar resolution which depends on the radar bandwidth. The accuracy in azimuth strongly depends on the number of used receive antennae and samples demonstrate the high accuracy that can be achieved. The oceanographic...
The WERA system (WavE RAdar) is a shore based remote sensing system to monitor ocean surface currents, waves and wind direction. This long range, high resolution monitoring system based on short radio wave radar technology. The vertical polarised electromagnetic wave is coupled to the conductive ocean surface and follows the curvature of the earth. This over the horizon oceanography radar can pick...
The HF-Coastal Radar “WERA” is a shore based remote sensing system to monitor ocean surface currents, waves and wind direction. This very reliable long range and high resolution monitoring system based on short radio wave radar technology. Due to the outstanding accuracy WERA can provide very valuable data to be assimilated into hydrographic models. In case of accidents in a distance of up to 200...
The WERA system (WavE RAdar) is a shore based remote sensing system to monitor ocean surface currents, waves and wind direction. WERA is using the lowest noise FMcw technique to provide highest temporal and fine spatial resolution for time critical applications. The vertical polarised electromagnetic wave is coupled to the conductive ocean surface and will follow the curvature of the earth. This over...
