Polar 55C - A C-band advanced meteorological radar developed for C.N.R., Italy
Abstract
The technical characteristics of a new weather radar, being developed for the Italian National Research Council (CNR) are described. Among the technical features described are: the antenna system; the transmitter-receiver; the microwave package; and the calibration system. Data processing functions in the system are carried out using a single processor which also provides signal preelaboration. Initial research objectives for the radar will be concerned with the characterization of the system performance as well as propagation effects and differential attenuation measurements. A block diagram of the integrated radar system is provided.
