We already developed a bistatic FM-CW radar in W-band FALCON-?and observe clouds on a ship "MIRAI" that is a Japanese scientific research vessel, in the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The radar provided good and sensitive data in these long-term observations. To improve the sensitivity of the radar more, we start to develop a prototype of monostatic FM-CW radar FALCON-?. There is a cancel system to reduce leakage power to receiving side from transmitting side. As a result of initial observations, basic performance of the prototype radar is realized as an FM-CW radar. By doing more improvement, clouds and rainfall will be observed in high-sensitivity. |
