DOPPLER INSTALLATION
DOPPLER PRINCIPLE
SELF CONTAINED NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Consist of radar transmitter-
receiver , signal processor,
control display unit and steering
indicator
It transmits at 13.325 GHz using
frequency
modulations/continuous wave
signals at a low radiated power
of 20 m W
STAND-ALONE VELOCITY SENSOR
Is a form of a radar transmitter-
receiver
This sensor has 0.1 knots and
can be connected with avionic
systems
It can be integrated with other
navigation sensors to provide
filtered calculations
 Digital System Processing (DSP)
Is used for continuous spectrum analysis of signal returns
( that leads to Enhanced tracking precision accuracy and enhance signal acquisition over marginal terrain condition )

Doppler systems compensate for attitude changes

the system can accommodate rate changes of up to 100 degrees
per sec in azimth
Doppler navigation
Advantage
velocity and position outputs
from system are provided on a
continuous basis
It requires no ground navigation
aids
Navigations is possible over any
part of the world
The system is unaffected by
weather
Disadvantage
Dependent upon directional
reference
It requires vertical reference to
compensate for aircraft attitude
Position calculations degrade with
distance travelled
Short term velocity calculations can
be inaccurate
Military users have to be aware
that they are giving away the
location of their aircraft
Self contained navigation
The doppler shift principle is also employed in several other aero
systems
