detection sensitivity
[Ku] The minimum detectable rain rate of airborne Ku-band radar is 0.15mm/h, which satisfies the desired performance of 0.25mm/h.
[Ka] The minimum detectable rain rate of airborne Ka-band radar is 0.13mm/h, which is a little worse than the desired performance of
0.10mm/h. Given the rain attenuation and the radome’s influence, the sensitivity of Ka-band radar basically satisfies the desired performance.
-24-
sidelobe
[Ku] The sidelobe of Ku-band radar is lower than -60dB, which satisfies the desired performance.
[Ka] The sidelobe of Ka-band radar is lower than -50dB, which is a little worse than the desired performance.
-25-
range resolution
[Ku] Actual 6dB range resolution of Ku-band radar is better than 250m, which satisfies the desired performance.
[Ka] Actual 6dB range resolution of Ka-band radar is better than 250m, which satisfies the desired performance.

• The radar reflectivity factor profiles of ADPR and TRMM PR
are highly consistent, which proves ADPR’s measuring
accuracy.
• Field Campaign results shows that ADPR basically satisfy the
desired performance.
• The dual-frequency precipitation radar is qualified for the
development of future spaceborne dual-frequency
precipitation radar in China.
