Polarization diversity addition to the 10 centimeter Doppler weather radar
Abstract
The research performed was that of providing antenna modifications for a polarization diversity addition to the; AFGL 10 centimeter DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR. Described within are the ANTENNA FEED DESIGN (POTTER HORN), the conversion of the antenna form a prime focus to a Cassegrain Configuration, the results of the feed horn RF measurements, the construction of the POLARIZER ASSEMBLY, and the installation and testing of the antenna system.
