  • Page 5: System Configuration

    S2E-17-0056_A System Configuration The observation system consists of an Antenna Unit (radome), a Signal Processing Unit (connection box) , and a Data Processing Unit (indoor unit) are shown below. (1) Antenna Unit (radome) (2) 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 .
