Radiosonde Modulator

Radiosonde modulators are devices used in meteorology to modulate the signals transmitted by radiosondes. Radiosondes are instruments that are launched into the atmosphere to collect data on temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed. The modulator is responsible for encoding this data into a format that can be transmitted via radio waves.

The modulator takes the measurements from the radiosonde's sensors and converts them into a digital signal. This signal is then modulated onto a carrier wave, which is transmitted back to a receiving station on the ground. The receiving station can then decode the signal and extract the meteorological data for analysis.

Radiosonde modulators are an essential component of weather forecasting and atmospheric research. They allow meteorologists to gather real-time data from the upper atmosphere, which is crucial for understanding weather patterns and making accurate forecasts.

In the supply class "Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus" and the supply group "Instruments And Laboratory Equipment," radiosonde modulators are one of the specific instruments used for meteorological data collection and analysis.
