Evaluation of the effects of different lightning protection rods on the data quality of C-band weather radars
Abstract Z Z R - 15 dB in apparent side-lobe levels is found for all tested lightning protection options. Beam blockage is substantially reduced compared to the existing lightning protection, as shown by the evaluation of quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) sums. These results and some structural considerations are a solid basis to recommend the installation of four rods with a maximum 40 mm diameter for all 17 radar systems of the DWD weather radar network.
