  • Page 6: Outline Of System

    SSE-14-0022_17 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 A 4201, JIS Z 9290 and IEC 62305.

  • Page 7: System Configuration

    SSE-14-0022_17 System Configuration The observation system consists of Antenna Unit (radome), Signal Processing Unit (storage box), and Display 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 the signals to Signal Processing Unit 2) Signal Processing Unit (storage box)
