Key motivation • “The perfect radar” for urban drainage applications is a radar of both high resolution and long range • Unfortunately the typical trade-off for longer range is coarser resolution • Combining radars of long range with radars of high resolution, is an obvious solution • Different antenna design • Different scanning strategy • Different strength and weaknesses • The study investigate differences, • similarities, strength and weaknesses 2 x 2km 100 x 100m
