Difference between Weather radar and X band

Weather radar vs. X band

Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.). Modern weather radars are mostly pulse-Doppler radars, capable of detecting the motion of rain droplets in addition to the intensity of the precipitation. The X band is the designation for a band of frequencies in the microwave radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Similarities between Weather radar and X band

Weather radar and X band have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Microwave, Phased array, Polarization (waves), Radar, S band.

Microwave

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from one meter to one millimeter; with frequencies between and.

Phased array

In antenna theory, a phased array usually means an electronically scanned array; a computer-controlled array of antennas which creates a beam of radio waves which can be electronically steered to point in different directions, without moving the antennas.

Polarization (waves)

Polarization (also polarisation) is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations.

Weather radar and X band Comparison

Weather radar has 157 relations, while X band has 85. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 2.07% = 5 / (157 + 85).
