Dual-Polarized Planar Phased Array Analysis for Meteorological Applications

Figure 2

Dual-polarized modules for polarimetric phased array weather radars. (a) is for the ATSR mode and (b) is for the STSR mode. In the ATSR mode, one channel is shared for transmitting and signals and two independent channels are used for reception. In the STSR mode, four independent channels, two for transmission, two for reception, and one switch to commute the transmission and reception signals, are required.
