Beamforming for a Fast Scanning Phased Array Weather Radar

At the airports, fast-scanning phased array radars are used to detect point-like targets, e.g., birds and drones. However, these radars do not possess Doppler processing and thus are not used for observation of the weather targets like precipitation events. A series of steps need to be performed, such as beamforming in elevation, target masking...

Weather Targets Doppler Processing in Phased Array Radar with Fast Azimuthal Scanning: Phased Array Weather Radar

There is an increasing demand for a highly accurate weather system on the runway for early detection and warning of severe weather phenomena. Due to the high performances of a phased array radar system in terms of time-resolution and elevation-resolution, an already existing fast-rotating phased array radar, 60 RPM, is studied to find the...
