A Preliminary Study on Detection Accuracy of Solid-State Weather Radar

Solid-state transmitters are always used in miniaturization weather radars because of their high reliability and maintainability.This paper has finished some preliminary research about the detection accuracy of solid-state weather radar. The reflectivity data from Doppler weather radar which is considered very accurate is used as the criterion for evaluating solid-state's data quality. Comparison and statistics show that the observations of solid-state weather radar are consistence with the Doppler weather radar, especially in heavy rainfall. Results from the analysis indicate that solid-state weather radar has high detection accuracy in practical application.
