Meteor 50DX weather radar

The METEOR 50DX is a highly sensitive X-Band weather radar system based on magnetron technology and featuring dual polarization as standard. Thanks to its compact design and unique radar-over-elevation configuration the METEOR 50DX is suitable for mobile applications and permanent installation. The innovative mobile version is mounted on a trailer approved for road service worldwide.

• Dual Polarization as standard: hydrometeor classification, enhanced measurement of precipitation intensity, realtime correction of rainfall attenuation
• Radar-over-elevation: no need for expensive rotary joints, reduced two-way losses
• X-Band offers maximum sensitivity at short to medium ranges at low cost
• Highly reliable and proven magnetron technology
• Features state-of-the-art signal processor GDRX and Rainbow application software
• Maximum use of COTS components for hardware flexibility

Applications include:

• Weather surveillance and tracking
• Severe weather indication
• Hydrological forecasting (e.g. flood forecasting)
• Scientific research campaigns
• Wind shear detection at airports
