A NEW METHOD OF LIGHTNING STRIKE LOCATION SYSTEM
Guilin Zheng · Power System Technology · 2002
A lightning strike location system is put forward which locates the lightning strike by combining electromagnetic signals and the thunderclap, its location accurate is within a few meters, so the presented lightning strike location system can meet the need of aviation and space center. In this system the array signal processing method often used in modern signal processing systems is applied by which the requirements of lightning strike system to communication are reduced, at the same time the difficulty in the installation of lightning strike location system is also reduced. The estimation algorithm of the angle of incidence and the design method of the array are expounded, the improving project of the sensors are given. The advantages of the sensors designed by improving project are high response speed, low energy consumption and low failure rate.
