Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

Technical dimensions Key indicators Test methods
Operating frequency 2.7-3.0GHz Spectrum analyzer measurement (6.5.1)
Detection capability Minimum measurable echo intensity ≤-7.5dBz@50km Statistical analysis of basic data (6.5.14)
Measurement accuracy Velocity error ≤1m/s, intensity error ≤1dBz Internal signal injection test (6.5.10-11)

System composition and functional requirements

S-band Doppler weather radar consists of 8 major subsystems including radome, servo system, transmitter, etc. (Section 5.1), and must have the following features:

  • Multi-mode scanning: supports 5 scanning modes including volume scanning (≤6min) and RHI
  • Intelligent observation: automatically switches between clear sky and heavy precipitation modes according to precipitation intensity
  • Three-level data output: I/Q data, basic data, meteorological products (5.2.1)

Comparison of key technical indicators

Parameter type Narrow pulse mode Wide Pulse Mode
Pulse Width 1.57±0.10μs 4.70±0.25μs
PRF Range 300-1300Hz 300-450Hz
Receiver Bandwidth 0.63±0.05MHz 0.21±0.05MHz

Implementation Recommendations

Typical Application Scenarios

During typhoon monitoring, the heavy precipitation mode (14-layer pitch angle scanning) should be enabled, and the dual PRF technology should be used to resolve the velocity ambiguity problem (clause 5.2.2.2c)

Maintenance points

  • Perform solar calibration regularly (6.4.22) to ensure the antenna pointing accuracy is ≤0.05°
  • Detect transmitter power fluctuations quarterly (6.5.46) to ensure the external fluctuation is ≤0.3dB

Standard evolution analysis

This standard is mainly upgraded compared with GB/T12648-1990:

  1. Added special requirements for klystron transmitters (5.3.5)
  2. Strengthened data quality control algorithm (5.3.7.4)
  3. Add WMO compatibility requirements (Appendix B)
