Antenna Design: Scintec's proprietary Flat Array Antenna is more efficient than other designs. The transducers are effectively protected allowing operation during precipition.

Multi-Frequency and Multi-Beam Operation: The multi-frequency, multi-beam capability of the Scintec FAS Series Sodars results in an immense signal-to-noise advantage over single-frequency, single-beam systems. This significantly increases data accuracy and availability.

Height Dependent Vertical Resolution: Scintec FAS Series Sodars can be operated with pulses of different lengths within one sequence. This solves the "range or resolution" dilemma of conventional sodars.

Signal Processing: Scintec FAS Series Sodars apply innovative processing to allow reliable operation even in loud environments (airports). Scintec FASRUN Version 2.00 software has new user friendly interfaces and extensive graphical capabilities.

Two-Dimensional Dynamic Shading: A shading technique (tapering) is software selectable to generate less environmental noise without extensive mechanical shielding.

RASS Extension: XFAS, MFAS and SFAS can be combined with the RASS Extension RAE-1 to accurately measure temperature profiles.
