Paper Abstract
A recently developed 220GHz incoherent radar has potential for remote sensing of low reflectivity atmosphere targets in
Cloud Chamber. Stepped frequency system is used and bandwidth 10GHz. Preliminary reflectivity measurements of
clouds for ranges between 0.2m~4m in narrow Cloud Chamber. The instrument is briefly described. Highlighting
uncertainties due to highly variable attenuation and signal interference. Then the results of investigations of the
transmitter, receiver, Antennas, as well as the atmospheric Propagation Effects are presented. The results of this effort
demonstrate that the radar is a stable, sensitive, system capable of providing accurate power for clouds.
