METEOR 700C AND 735C
WEATHER RADAR

The METEOR 700C and 735C systems set the benchmark
in weather radar technology and cost effectiveness. These
systems are particularly suitable for meteorological services
covering moderate distances and precipitation conditions
in mid-latitude regions like Europe, North-America and
northern Asia.
The METEOR 700C and 735C combine cutting-edge
technologies with straight-forward and reliable implementation.
Both METEOR C-Band systems are supplied with GDRX® 5
Digital Receiver & Signal Processor and Rainbow® 5, the
most up-to-date radar software package for meteorological
users. They ensure optimum data quality for the accurate
measurement of rain rates, precise detection of severe
weather phenomena as well as tracking and nowcasting of
such events.
The METEOR 700C baseline configuration includes a 250 KW
transmitter. Alternatively, the METEOR 735C boosts the
peak power to more than 400 KW. It is driven by a solidstate
modulator with graceful degradation providing faulttolerant
operation and higher system availability.
Both the METEOR 700C and METEOR 735C are available
with single or dual polarization (DP). The dual polarization
option enhances the measurement of precipitation intensity
and makes way for the categorization of different types of
hydrometeor like drizzle, rain, hail and snow. Thanks to its
high-powered transmitter, the METEOR 735C operates in
simultaneous DP mode with almost no loss of sensitivity
compared to conventional 250 KW single-polarized systems.
