Abstract
A system is for recognizing obstructions and monitoring movements on or above an airport area () with sensors (). A sensor () is a radar device having a plurality of antenna elements (), which are affixed to a curved surface () of an antenna carrier () and are turned on, one after the other, in terms of time. Thus a first part of the antenna elements () is disposed on a first circular line () on the surface of the antenna carrier (), and a second part of the antenna elements () is disposed on a circular line () perpendicular to the first circular line (). Therefore the data of the radar device () are evaluated in a first ROSAR process, to image the situation on the ground, and in a second ROSAR process, to image the heights of the flying objects to be observed.
