Measurement of Reflectivity and Doppler Velocity
Tropospheric profile up to 12 km—18 km—24
km depending on the mode
Four simultaneous resolutions:
• 12.5m resolution dedicated to low clouds and
fog
• 25m resolution dedicated to midlevel clouds
• 100m resolutions especially designed for high
altitude ice clouds
Low power needed with direct impact on cost
reduction
Fog monitoring capability for enhanced security on airports (nowcasting)
High mobile capability allowing BASTA to be used as a calibration mean for other
radars
Simplicity and low cost opening a way to cloud radar networking

The BASTA is a 95 GHz FMCW (Frequency Modulated
Continuous Wave) Doppler radar for cloud and fog
studies. This technical option does not require high
transmission power unlike pulsed radar. Indeed the
FMCW technology is now an efficient and reliable
solution thanks to the latest developments in signal
