  • Page 6: Outline Of System

    S2E-17-0055_A Outline of System This system observes the development of rain clouds, outputs the strength of precipitation, the speed of rain clouds (Doppler speed), and observes phenomena of rainfall. Features: 1. While installing antenna on a rooftop of building in urban area, it must be installed in the safety area covered by lightning rod based on JIS A4201 and IEC61024-1.

  • Page 7: System Configuration

    S2E-17-0055_A System Configuration The observation system consists of Antenna Unit (radome), Junction Unit (connection box), and Data Processing Unit (indoor unit) as shown below. 1) Antenna Unit (radome) The Antenna is stored in the radome turning and radiating 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 in the ATU.
