Abstract
In this article, a new atmospheric profiler is described. The system is mobile in the sense that it can be disassembled and built up at a different location. Some specific characteristics of the antenna system and transportability are highlighted. Less attention is paid to the transmitter and receiver systems as they are of more conventional FM-CW design. A description of the data acquisition and processing system is given.
