Radar System Selected Options

1. ARC-X250P
X-Band Polarimetric Doppler Weather Radar
The ARC X250P radar is designed for high quality data acquisition and analysis in both research and operational settings. ARC utilizes the NCARdeveloped TITAN/CIDD radar product generation and display software, which has been refined through decades of research and operational use around the planet, for both standard and polarimetric radar products. The ARC X250P has been implemented for studying wind shear around airports and Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE). It is an ideal operational system for local monitoring of weather impacts on aviation and severe and hazardous weather in real-time. Research regarding advanced detection of wind shear events and water resource management have been conducted with the ARC X250P. Antenna Specifications Dish Diameter: 2.44 meters (Beamwidth: 0.95 degrees) Polarization: o Simultaneous Horizontal and Vertical (SHV), Horizontal (Hor) or Vertical (Ver) modes o Alternating Horizontal and Vertical (AHV) mode is available on special order Scan types: o Surveillance (360 degrees) with elevation step o PPI sector scan with elevation step o RHI scan with azimuth step

2. VHDD Series
X-Band Doppler Weather Radar
Based around the powerful coaxial magnetron combined with a solid-state modulator, Baron's VHDD Series of Doppler Weather Radar provides the ideal balance between price and all-weather performance, in either C-band, S-band or X-band configurations. Like all Baron radar sensors, the VHDD series offers easy maintenance and upgradeability, plus remote dial-in capability for calibration and troubleshooting. VHDD radars are built only with components that have met Baron's rigorous quality standards. VHDD systems are built for your requirements, and can be equipped with dual-polarization capability and volume scanning, either standard or as a future upgrade. An advanced Doppler processor is used for accurate and indepth storm visualization.

Features:
Customizable Transmitters The VHDD series can be configured with either a 350kW or 1000kW (1MW) coaxial magnetron. A solid-state modulator ensures stability and a clean signal. Optional Dual-Polarization Baron is the leader in dual-pol technology, with a revolutionary calibration technique that auto-calibrates the radar continuously. Remote Monitoring

Built-in fault protection ensures worry-free operation. Baron personnel can even dial remotely into your system for troubleshooting. Precision Radar Control Operation of a Baron radar sensor is fully controllable, with settings for rotation rate, elevation angle, volume scans and more. Specifications 350KW and 1MW Coaxial Magnetron Transmitter Options Advanced Doppler Processor with 4000 Range Bins High-Speed 6RPM Pedestal Customizable Radome Sizes and Tower Heights (If Applicable) Built-in Test Equipment (BITE) with 24/7 Customer Support

3. DWSR-2001X
X-Band Magnetron-Based Doppler Radar
Comprehensive Specs in PDF below. Has a peak transmit power of 200kW. Info in PDF form: http://www.eecradar.com/eecimages/pdfs/DWSR_2001X.pdf Enterprise Electronic Corporation

4. E700XD
X-Band Doppler Radar
Possibly a bit low powered but they claim high resolution. The E700XD sets the new standard for portable Doppler Weather Radars. The E700 combines the latest state of the art solid state technology, industry leading digital signal processing and EWRs innovative mechanical design. The result is the most compact, portable and advanced Doppler weather radar available. Where previous Doppler radars utilized tube transmitters (Klystrons, magnetrons, TWTs, etc.) that require frequent tuning and are prone to failure in harsh environments such as those found in mobile tactical applications, the

E700XD uses a solid-state transmitter which is virtually maintenance free and consumes far less power. Although the E700XD transmits less power than traditional tube-based systems, it uses pulse-compressed waveforms to provide greater radar sensitivity. Traditional radars transmit short pulses at high peak transmit power to provide radar sensitivity (through the high transmit power) while providing short range resolutions (through the use of short transmitted pulses). The E700XDs pulse compression transmitter transmits long pulses at lower power levels (providing the equivalent sensitivity as a short pulse at high power) while compressing the pulse in the signal processor to provide the same short range resolution obtained by transmitting a short pulse. The benefit is that the E700XD can provide equivalent or better sensitivity and range resolution compared to a 10-12kW radar while transmitting a fraction of that power.
