BLS Series Scintillometers

Turbulence Over Long Paths: The Scintec BLS Series Scintillometers are designed for long propagation paths up to 10 km length. Instruments provide turbulence and heat flux data for horizontal and even slant geometric paths.

No Transmitter Alignment: Forget about the problems of aligning a distant large aperture transmitter. With Scintec BLS Series Scintillometers, transmitter alignment is no longer necessary. Hence a single person can do the whole set-up within minutes.

Use On Towers: The large emission of the transmitter even allows installation on towers or other elevated platforms which are prone to vibration but a convenient base for long path turbulence measurements.

Refractive Index Fluctuations: For applications in optical propagation analysis, Scintec BLS Series Scintillometers determine the structure parameter (structure constant) Cn2 of refractive index fluctuations and the Fried parameter at a reference wavelength defined by the user.

Dual Source Configuration: By evaluating the scintillation of two separate sources, the instrument corrects for transmission changes, increasing the accuracy of the measurement results. In addition to the turbulence measurement, Scintec BLS Series Scintillometers provide the wind speed perpendicular to the optical path.
