Abstract
his paper concerns a ground-based continuous- wave noise radar system that was built from Commercial-Off-The-Shelf measurement equipment (Vector Signal Analyser, Ar- bitrary Waveform Generator, amplifiers, antennas) and operated at 5.6 GHz in the C-band. This electronic system was tested as a meteorological radar in the experiment devoted to atmospheric precipitation sensing. The result of the processing is a set of Range-Doppler plots containing visible echo of rain, based on which its intensity can be calculated. There are the system setup, signal processing and results described in the paper.
