摘要：
NCAR/EOL is investigating potential configurations for the next generation airborne phased array radar (APAR) that is capable of retrieving dynamic and microphysical characteristics of clouds and precipitation. A number of antenna aperture configurations, and signal processing algorithms will be used for realizing overall performance of the APAR. In the case of polarimetric measurements, alternate transmit with alternate receive (single channel receiver) and simultaneous reception (dual channel receiver) is considered. The above-mentioned engineering options will be evaluated for realizing an optimal APAR system suitable for measuring the high temporal and spatial resolution of Doppler and polarimetric measurements of precipitation and clouds when compared to a mechanically scanning radar.
