The present invention relates to the field of meteorological
radar technology, and specifically to an X-band dual-polarization
phased array rain
radar system and detection method. The
system includes hardware equipment, a
processing module, and auxiliary accessories; the hardware equipment includes an
antenna array subsystem and a
radar base subsystem; the
processing module includes a polarization channel consistency calibration submodule, a particle phase identification submodule, and a
rainfall estimation submodule; the auxiliary accessories include power supply equipment, a generator,
lightning protection facilities, an
optical fiber network, and a data storage device. A planar
microstrip patch array antenna is used, which is designed with a spacing arrangement and has the characteristics of small area and high
phase center consistency, ensuring high consistency, low side lobes, and high cross-polarization isolation of dual-polarization beams; at the same time, the detection accuracy is improved by setting a
processing module.
