Abstract
A linear-depolarization ratio calculator () is configured so as to determine a radar reflectivity factor Zin transmission of a horizontally polarized wave and reception of a horizontally polarized wave, the radar reflectivity factor being a reflected wave intensity after integration of a reflected wave intensity V(n) calculated by a reflected-wave intensity calculator (), and a radar reflectivity factor Zin transmission of a horizontally polarized wave and reception of a vertically polarized wave, the radar reflectivity factor being a reflected wave intensity after integration of a reflected wave intensity V(n+2) and calculate a linear depolarization ratio LDRwhich is the ratio between the radar reflectivity factor Zand the radar reflectivity factor Z. As a result, even when three types of polarized-wave transmission/reception processing elements are repeatedly performed, the linear depolarization ratio LDRcan be calculated.
