Why is tracking aircraft impractical? In university I was involved in building an antenna that would track a LEO satellite (a bit crudely, though), with a pass taking about 15 minutes - that's pretty similar to a pass by a full-altitude aircraft. The main impracticality I can see is that you'll need an antenna pr. aircraft in range.
- hga 14y agoIf you want to track a number of aircraft, and not require an antenna/dish per each or have resultant mechanical breakdowns, phased array antennas are the best solution.
