Description
One of the most promising remote sensor for 3D mapping of wind vector is the Doppler Radar instrument. We present here the results of the DORA activity where the antenna and the main components which are necessary to make it work have been designed. The critical component has been identified in a special type of rotary joint able to pass two dual polarized RF channels from the fixed to the rotating part of the system. A breadboard of such component has been designed realized and tested with good results.
