  • Publication number: 20160245913
    Abstract: A K-band frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) weather radar system is provided for measuring precipitation in the atmosphere. The apparatus includes a RF transmitter which modulates the input signal of the first baseband unit, this transmitted baseband signal is scattered by the target. A RF receiver receives the signal and demodulates that signal. Further, this demodulated signal goes to mixer and is mixed with local oscillator to generate beat frequency. An IF (intermediate frequency) signal of K-band FMCW radar can be treated as time and frequency domain signals due to a unique property of linear frequency modulation (LFM). Frequency synthesizer generates a reference signal for coherent operation of overall FMCW radar system. The second baseband unit down-converts the beat signal and generates I/Q signal. Finally the signal is converted into digital form utilizing analog-to-digital converter.
