Design of the Remote Control Software for Weather Radar Based on UDP

At first, the paper describes the design demand of the remote control software for weather radar, then analyses the testing result of the antenna azimuth motion based on TCP/UDP data transmission, discusses the limitation of TCP protocol when data is transmitted with shorter size package in the remote control system, finally obtains conclusion that UDP protocol has better performance in real-time data transmission. In order to improve transmission reliability of the radar severs/client software, the characteristic of the radar data package based on UDP can be used to error control. By optimizing the program structure, the remote control software with transmission error control is realized in XDR-X Baud digital weather radar.
