Design and implementation of an active calibration system for weather radars

Weather radars permit meteorological quantities such as rainfall rate and wind velocity to be determined. These quantities are calculated from estimates of reflectivity, mean radial velocity and velocity spread. These estimates are derived from modified RF signal parameter measurements. RF scatteri...
