  2. Digital ICE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_ICE

    Digital Image Correction and Enhancement (Digital ICE) is a set of technologies related to producing an altered image in a variety of frequency spectra. The objective of these technologies is to render an image more usable by Fourier or other filtering techniques.

    However, most of the layers of data on the charts include specific information about obstacles, airspace designations, and facility information (locations, radio frequencies, etc.). The legend divides these into several types of information, namely: airports, radio aids, traffic and airspace services, obstructions, topographic, and miscellaneous.

    However, the trade-off of this is that slow edges make range resolution poor. Early radars limited the bandwidth through filtration in the transmit chain, e.g. the waveguide, scanner etc., but performance could be sporadic with unwanted signals breaking through at remote frequencies and the edges of the recovered pulse being indeterminate.

  5. Full body scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_body_scanner

    Full body scanner in millimeter wave scanners technique at Cologne Bonn Airport Image from an active millimeter wave body scanner. A full-body scanner is a device that detects objects on or inside a person's body for security screening purposes, without physically removing clothes or making physical contact.

  6. Automated airport weather station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_airport_weather...

    Automated airport weather stations report freezing rain via the resonant frequency of a vibrating rod. The resonant frequency decreases with increasing accretion (additional mass) of ice, hoarfrost, freezing fog, freezing drizzle, rime, or wet snow.

  7. Radar display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_display

    An airport surveillance radar display. A radar display is an electronic device that presents radar data to the operator. The radar system transmits pulses or continuous waves of electromagnetic radiation, a small portion of which backscatter off targets (intended or otherwise) and return to the radar system.

  8. Radioglaciology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioglaciology

    Radioglaciology is the study of glaciers, ice sheets, ice caps and icy moons using ice penetrating radar.It employs a geophysical method similar to ground-penetrating radar and typically operates at frequencies in the MF, HF, VHF and UHF portions of the radio spectrum.

  9. Radio beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_beacon

    The most basic radio-navigational aid used in aviation is the non-directional beacon or NDB. It is a simple low- and medium-frequency transmitter used to locate airway intersections and airports and to conduct instrument approaches, with the use of a radio direction finder located on the aircraft.
