Compare OTG Reflectivities at Vertical and Horizontal Polarizations and its effect on Signal Attenuation Research Experience for Undergraduates Summer 2012 Christopher Demel Alcalá Research Participant Department of Electrical Engineering Keyla Mora, Mentor
Outline • Objectives • Background Theory • Differential Reflectivity • Methodology • Timeline
Objectives • Collect Data from OTG Radars • Compare Data • Analyze Images • Determine the Effect on Signal Attenuation OTG radars: X-band:8Ghz-12Ghz Wavelength: 2.5-4cm
Differential Reflectivity ZDR > 0dB ZDR < 0dB ZDR = 0dB
