Abstract :
The authors have developed a simultaneous reception Ku-band FM-CW dual-polarization radar. A feature of the system is to receive rain echoes at both horizontal and vertical polarizations simultaneously with two receivers. This radar system and the preliminary results of rainfall observation are described
