Abstract:
In some examples, a system includes a radar device configured to transmit first X-band radar signals in a weather mode and receive first return X-band radar signals in the weather mode. In some examples, the radar device is further configured to transmit second X-band radar signals in a landing mode and receive second return X-band radar signals in the landing mode. In some examples, the system also includes processing circuitry configured to detect, in the weather mode, weather formations based on the first return X-band radar signals. In some examples, the processing circuitry is further configured to determine, in the landing mode, a position of a transponder based on the second return X-band radar signals received by the radar device and determine a location of a runway based on the position of the transponder.
