摘要：
The national German weather radar network operates in C-band between 5.6 and 5.65 GHz. In a radar network, individual transmit frequencies have to be chosen such that radar-radar-induced interferences are avoided. In a unique experiment the Hohenpeissenberg research radar and five operational systems from the radar network were used to characterize radar-radar-induced interferences as a function of the radar frequency. The results allow assessment of the possibility of adding additional C-band radars with magnetron transmitters into the existing network. Based on the experiment, at least a 15 MHz separation of the nominal radar frequency is needed to avoid a radar-radar interference. The most efficient mitigation of radar-radar interference is achieved by the "Radar Tango ", which refers to the synchronized scanning of all radar systems in the network. Based on those results, additional C-band radar systems can be added to the German weather radar network if a further improvement of the radar coverage is needed.
