DWSR-8501

DWSR-8501 is a long-range S band Weatherradar. There are two main configurations: the Magnetron-powered DWSR-8501 S, and the Klystron-powered DWSR-8501 S/K. Both radars provide a peak power output of 850 kW and are available with either standard single-polarization or with an advanced dual-polarization system. The pulse repetition frequency is user selectable.
