To start out, [Henrik] designed the antenna using CST software, an electromagnetic simulation program intended for this type of work. His final design consists of a horn shape with a 100mm x 85mm ...

The antenna tilt should be changed periodically when changing altitude unless the weather radar is fitted with an auto-tilt function in order to avoid over-scanning or under-scanning.

In the 1960s, an unexpected gift from the Air Force led Herb Weiss ’40 to develop an antenna that could track a speeding ...

1. This mid-range radar sensor from Bosch features three transmitters and four receivers. It supports horizontal field-of-views of 160m (±6°), 100m (±9°), and 60m (±10°) for the main antenna ...

Synthetic-aperture radar, in which a moving radar is used to simulate a very large antenna and obtain high-resolution images, is typically not the stuff of hobbyists.

The unveiling of a radar antenna on Lewes Beach 2 late last month showed the importance of keeping coastal communities safe by predicting storms and rip currents in the Delaware Bay. This ...

What weather surveillance radar does the National Weather Service use? WSR-88D is considered by many to be the most powerful radar in the world, transmitting at 750,000 watts, the weather service ...
