THE SETTING AND PRELIMINARY OBSERVATION OF A WEATHER RADAR WITH LINEAR-CIRCULAR POLARIZATION RADIATIONS

In this paper the fundamental principles for detecting the larger particles an clouds, using a weather radar with linear-circular polarization radiations, have been briefly described. The experiments of developing the polarized radiation by adopting a transmission-plate-polarizer and primary results of observation have been described. The data obtained in Pingliang area show that there are differences in heights of intensive echo centers and features of echo between the two transmitted radiations.
