1 National Weather Service ROC WSR-88D Radar Pedestal Simulator for Capt. Colin Johnston Group 1A Patrick Macklin-Project Manager Jeff Myers-Financial Officer Osama Alkhouli-Configuration Manager Ryan Jones-Correspondent

2 Project Problem Statement for The National Weather Service Radar Operations Center Captain Colin M. Johnston The goal of the WSR-88D Capstone Project is to implement a higher order model to more closely simulate actual radar movement, velocity and acceleration and still return data packets to the command module at the required frequency.

3 Project Compliance 2 nd order simulation of radar movement –Both Elevation and Azimuth –Meets Specifications Rise Time < 1 second Settle Time < 2 seconds Steady State error < 5% –Accommodates physical limitation of radar dish Maximum speed ± 6 rad/s ≈ ± 36°/second Elevation Range -2° to + 60° –Elevation hard stops eventually cause errors

4 MAIN Control Loop Functional Block Diagram RDA Data Acquisition Computer XMIT Transmission Subroutine SCIR Serial Communications Interrupt Routine PARITYFORMAT CALC Calculation Controller R_TO_P Rate Interpreter SIM Rate and Position Calculations

5 Simulator Development Steps 8 th order transfer function 2 nd order system State Space Representation –Position –Speed Discrete system –Sampling time 45 ms
