摘要
A cloud profiling radar transmitting frequency-modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) at 95 GHz is developed for ground-based observations. Millimeter wave at 95 GHz is used to realize high sensitivity to small cloud particles. Two 1m-diameter parabolic antennas separated by 1.4m each other are used for transmitting and receiving the wave. The direction of the antennas is fixed at the zenith. The radar is designed to observe clouds between 0.3 and 15 km in height with a resolution of 15 in The system was integrated and sensitivities and stabilities have been measured. Results of test measurements of clouds show that the system is sensitive and stable enough to observe various clouds.
