How many parts in a NOAA radar weather display system?
The electrical signals in a NOAA radar weather (pronounced like Noah) arrangement generally follow this route: 1) Transmitter – Sends out short pulses of microwave radiation like a radio communication device. Why pulses? These shock waves do the trick, consume less power and allow the same set of NOAA radar weather equipment to receive the reflected signal when it comes back. 2) Antenna – The dish shaped part.
