Abstract
Provided is an apparatus and method for radiosonde power control based on position estimation, including a radiosonde system including a radiosonde that may collect weather information, receive Global Positioning System (GPS) information, and transmit a signal including the collected weather information, and a receiver that may receive the signal, and the radiosonde may also recognize a current position based on the GPS information and control a transmission power based on a distance between the current position and a position of the receiver.
Claims20
A radiosonde system, comprising:
- a radiosonde to observe weather information, receive Global Positioning System (GPS) information, and transmit a signal comprising the observed weather information;
- and
- a ground receiver to receive the signal, and
- wherein the radiosonde recognizes a current position based on the GPS information and controls a transmission power based on a distance between the current position and a position of the receiver.
A radiosonde, comprising:
- a weather sensor to collect weather information;
- a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to receive GPS information;
- a transmitter to transmit a signal comprising the collected weather information;
- and
- a power controller to recognize a current position based on the GPS information and control a transmission power of the transmitter based on a distance between the current position and a position of a receiver receiving the signal.
A method of controlling a power of a radiosonde, the method comprising:
- collecting weather information by the radiosonde using a weather sensor and recognizing a current position based on Global Positioning System (GPS) information received by a GPS receiver;
- and
- controlling a transmission power of a transmitter based on a distance between the current position and a receiver receiving a signal comprising the weather information transmitted from the radiosonde.
