Ka Band Holographic Imaging System Based on Linear Frequency Modulation Radar

Comparing and Merging Observation Data from Ka-Band Cloud Radar, C-Band Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave Radar and Ceilometer Systems

Field experiment in South China was undertaken to improve understanding of cloud and precipitation properties. Measurements of the vertical structures of non-precipitating and precipitating clouds were obtained using passive and active remote sensing equipment: a Ka-band cloud radar (CR) system, a C-band frequency modulated continuous wave vertical pointing radar (CVPR), a microwave radiometer ...

Attenuation Correction for Ka-band Cloud Radar Using X-band Weather Radar Data

In order to correct attenuated millimeter-wavelength (Ka-band) radar data and address the problem of instability, an attenuation correction methodology (attenuation correction with variation trend constraint; VTC) was developed. Using synchronous observation conditions and multi-band radars, the VTC method adopts the variation trends of reflectivity in X-band radar data captured with wavelet tr...

Effect of Scintillations on Ka-band Frequency Satellite signals

Scintillation is a transmission impairment. The Received Satellite signals degradation due to the scintillation on space to earth link in tropical region. This proposed work goal is to find the performance evaluation of scintillation in clear sky conditions. To estimate and compare the statistic of atmospheric scintillation based on the parameters in ITUR model. To evaluate Atmospheric Amplitud...

Ka Band System and Propagation Effects on System Performance

AbstractThe Advanced Communication Technology Satellite (ACTS) is an experimental communications satellite system launched in September 1993. ACTS introduces many new technologies, including operation in the Ka frequency band. ACTS uses multiple hopping narrow beams and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) technology to establish a system availability of 99.5% for a bit-error-rates of 5x10 or be...
