-23- detection sensitivity [Ku] The minimum detectable rain rate of airborne Ku-band radar is 0.15mm/h, which satisfies the desired performance of 0.25mm/h. [Ka] The minimum detectable rain rate of airborne Ka-band radar is 0.13mm/h, which is a little worse than the desired performance of 0.10mm/h. Given the rain attenuation and the radome’s influence, the sensitivity of Ka-band radar basically satisfies the desired performance.

-24- sidelobe [Ku] The sidelobe of Ku-band radar is lower than -60dB, which satisfies the desired performance. [Ka] The sidelobe of Ka-band radar is lower than -50dB, which is a little worse than the desired performance.

-25- range resolution [Ku] Actual 6dB range resolution of Ku-band radar is better than 250m, which satisfies the desired performance. [Ka] Actual 6dB range resolution of Ka-band radar is better than 250m, which satisfies the desired performance.

The radar reflectivity factor profiles of ADPR and TRMM PR are highly consistent, which proves ADPR’s measuring accuracy. 2. Field Campaign results shows that ADPR basically satisfy the desired performance. 3. The dual-frequency precipitation radar is qualified for the development of future spaceborne dual-frequency precipitation radar in China. Conclusion
