BOULDER, Colorado — When a tornadic supercell thunderstorm forms on the eastern plains of Colorado, meteorologists use a Doppler radar to get critical scans and analyze the storm’s dangerous potential ...

Phased array technology is far from new. Phased-array antennas have been used for decades in a variety of military applications. Now, however, their use in 5G systems in the Band 2 frequency range is ...

The FAA is starting to define concepts and requirements for a phased-array radar that could replace all the mechanically scanned terminal aircraft and weather surveillance radars now in use, some of ...

The News 9 weather team is focused on finding faster and more accurate ways to warn us about severe weather. And a new radar at the National Weather Center (NWC) will help. It’s called a Phased Array ...

A problem faced by designers of phased array radar systems is the tradeoff of granularity or beam width and system cost, size, weight and power (SWAP). By increasing the number of elements in an array ...

Doppler radar is an important tool meteorologists use to track where thunderstorms are occurring, how intense they are, and where they are moving. WSR-88D, the current radar that became operational in ...
