Abstract

This paper is presented as a theoretical analysis for dual-polarized planar phased array radar accuracy requirements in meteorological applications. Based on the local feature of the element pattern, a simplified linear model is developed to approximate the pattern near the beam direction. In order to evaluate the performance under different conditions, a Monte Carlo simulation method is introduced. The simulation results for ATSR mode are shown and analyzed. Finally, the conclusions are made.
