Abstract:The monitoring of forest fire around transmission line is always one of the difficult problems in line operation and maintenance. The new technology of timely and effective forest fire monitoring is proposed to improve the efficiency of line operation and maintenance. Radar telemetry technology has the advantages of wide monitoring range, high precision and convenient maintenance. In order to analyze the great potential of radar in the telemetry field of important transmission lines, a real-time monitoring device of transmission line forest fire based on Ka band radar is developed, and the project measurement and application are carried out. The measured results show that the real-time radar monitoring device of transmission line forest fire can quickly and accurately monitor the fire target, meet the engineering accuracy requirements, and have engineering application feasibility.
