  • Page 6: System Configuration

    SSE-14-0023_17 System Configuration The observation system consists of an Antenna Unit (Radome), a Signal Processing Unit (storage box) , and a Display Unit (indoor unit) are shown below. (1) Antenna Unit (radome) The antenna, stored in the radome, turns to radiate the radio waves. The radiated waves are backscattered by precipitation particles on the propagation path, return to the antenna, and are processed by RF converter to transfer the signals to the Signal Processing Unit .

  • Page 7: Chapter: 1. System Summary

    SSE-14-0023_17 1. System Summary RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) developed during World War II as a method to detect the presence of ships and aircraft (the military considered weather targets as noise). Since WWII, there have been many advances in radar technology (e.g., Doppler techniques) and it’s used on land, sea, and in space for both research and operational needs.

    SSE-14-0023_17 1.5. Other weather observation system There are several types of instruments to measure weather with pinpoint. Rain gauge, Disdrometer, and Wind sensor are the major type of observation system. For example, rain gauge is the most popular tool to know how much rain has fallen. The three major types of rain gauges are the standard rain gauge, tipping bucket gauge, and weight gauge.

Solution: Way of making a current installation safer Lightning protection level definition Lightning protection level (LPL) is defined in the regulation based on peak current.

So we will suppose modification plan to protect the weather radar. 3.2.1. Extend existing lightning rod We have installed new lightning rod to protect the radar, but it is not enough due to some restrictions.
  • Page 97 SSE-14-0023_17 3.2.2. Add extra lightning rod This is a sample of adding lightning rod with some reason: It installed beside a chimney, 8 meters away from the radar. In this case the chimney is fixed, therefore it is better to install a new lightning rod as shown in the figure 4. The weather radar will be covered by combination with new and existent lightning rods.

  • Page 99 SSE-14-0023_17 4.2. New JIS lightning and angle of protection Height and protection efficiency of lightning rod were revised when IEC standards was renewal in 2003 (JIS A 4201) from what enacted in 1990. The angle of protection gets decreased as the height of the protected structure is getting higher, and any protection level over 60 meters of structure will not be enacted in protection angle because a lightning rod cannot receive the lighting if building is over 60 meters to a side-on lighting strike that hits the side of a building.

Communication network Data communications refers to the transmission of this digital data between two or more computers and a computer network or data network is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data. The physical connection between networked computing devices is established using either cable media or wireless media.
