IMD

The The IMD-3000 has an integrated signal processing unit that converts the radar signal into a digital trigger (DSP board). It outputs the signal (trigger) via an open collector output. The product uses a CW modulation and detects the movement and presence of objects. This prevents the radar from triggering incorrectly for example from movement caused by shielding, cross-traffic, or longer presences in the detection area. The radar system has a potentiometer for setting the detection range. It can be set between 5 cm and 15 cm for the detection of a hand. Thanks to robust radar technology and built-in filter functions, the system can also be used in a challenging environment. The radar is insensitive to weather, temperature, and light conditions and is ideal for outdoor use. Darkness, rain, snow, wind, dust, moisture, exhaust gases, and dirt do not cause any problems for the IMD-3000. Maintenance is not necessary. Its operating temperature is between -40°C and +85°C. The system also reliably detects the movement of the hand when the user habitually touches the switch or only uses one finger. If the user wears gloves or a sticker covers the antenna, the performance of the system is not impaired. The wide supply voltage range between 4 volts and 30 volts offers the customer more flexibility when connecting to the existing circuit of the technical system. The radar operates in the 24 GHz frequency band, which allows worldwide use. The narrow design of the radar system enable...

What is Doppler Weather Radar, new technology which will help IMD predict cold wave, rains more accurately?

In the midst of the cold wave spell in several northern areas such as Delhi, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh, the Centre has made a significant announcement that could improve the predictions of the Indian Meteorological Department. Union Minister Jitendra Singh announced on Sunday that entire India will soon be covered by the While the accuracy of the weather predictions by IMD has increased by around 40 percent in the last eight to nine years, as per the minister, the new DWRs are set to take this to another level, making a significant change in the weather prediction in India. What is Doppler Weather Radar? Know how it works The Doppler Weather Radar (DWR), also known as the weather surveillance radar, is a technology designed to make extremely accurate weather predictions. The technology uses a type of radar that detects precipitation and calculates its intensity. The Doppler Weather Radar is useful in detecting precipitation, calculating its motion, and estimating its type. The DWR can determine whether the precipitation is in form of rain, snowfall, or hail. The measure of precipitation can further help weather agencies determine the intensity of cold and heat waves in parts of the country. The radar uses microwave radiations to detect the size and intensity of the precipitation particles, which can further make near-accurate predictions about potential snow and hail storms in parts of the country, helping authorities make necessary arrangements.

Delhi to get respite from heat as IMD predicts cloudy sky, light rain

By India Today City Desk: Delhi is likely to witness a cloudy sky with light rainfall on Friday, bringing a much-needed respite from the searing heat, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to hover around 38 and 27 degrees Celsius respectively, it added. Parts of Delhi, including Dwarka, received rainfall on Wednesday. Delhiites are expected to get some relief from the scorching heat in the next few days with light rains and thundershowers in the offing, the weather office had earlier said.

Cyclone Biparjoy: Imd'S Bhuj Radar Operational Just 48 Hours Prior To Anticipated Landfall

The very severe cyclonic storm Biparjoy (pronounced as Biporjoy) is likely to make landfall between Mandvi and Karachi by the evening of June 15. Sources have told CNBC-TV18 that during this crucial weather event, "The India Meteorological Department's (IMD) Bhuj doppler radar wasn't working till noon of June 13. It was only in the afternoon of June 13, the radar started working."
