The Impact of Lightning Rods on the Differential Reflectivity of X-Band Radar

The Impact of Lightning Rods on the Differential Reflectivity of X-Band Radar

Lightning rod configuration is crucial in radar stations. With widespread application of dual-polarisation technology, lightning rods have a significant impact on radar differential reflectivity, particularly for X-band radars with shorter wavelengths. Quantitative analyses and methods for reducing...
