Antenna Experts WPRY-205 wind profiler radar yagi antenna design reflects innovative modern antenna construction. The unique design of the wind profiler radar yagi antenna feed which works as matching device to keep the VSWR low resulting in increased efficiency of the yagi antenna.

High quality epoxy-based electrostatic powder coating on the complete wind profiler radar yagi antenna provides extra protection against corrosion in saline weather present in coastal areas. The wind profiler radar yagi antenna comes in pre-assembled condition with permanently fixed radiating elements on the support boom. The small surface area on the yagi antenna minimizes wind resistance and conserves tower loading capacity. Wind profiler radar yagi antenna has IP66 rating.

Radiating elements (Reflector, Dipole & Director), support booms & mounting flange of WPRY-205 wind profiler radar yagi antenna have been constructed in high quality 6063T6 ultra corrosion resistant architectural anodize aluminum alloys to prevent corrosion. The wind profiler radar yagi antenna uses special gamma match feed which eliminates the use of folded dipole.

The wind profiler radar yagi antenna is supplied with N-Female termination fixed on the support boom to avoid any loose pigtail. The mounting hardware supplied with the antenna is made of type 316 marine grade stainless steel which facilitates mounting on either vertical or horizontal members. The antenna is factory tuned and doesn’t require any field tuning or adjustments for its operation.

Design and Features of Wind Profiler Radar Yagi Antenna:

Element Configuration: Standard designs utilize a 3-element structure consisting of one reflector, one driven element (dipole), and one director. Driven element uses gamma match dipole feed for best impedance matching.

Phased Array Integration: For professional profiling, hundreds of these individual Yagi antennas (49 to 619 elements) are combined into a massive array to create a narrow "pencil beam" for precise wind measurement.

Feed System: Specialized designs often use a gamma match feed rather than a standard folded dipole to eliminate loose pigtails and simplify impedance matching. Feeder cable run through the support boom.

Environmental Protection: High-end models feature an IP66 rating and are designed with small surface areas to minimize wind resistance and tower loading. Wind profiler radar yagi antenna also complies with MIL-STD parameters.

Materials of Wind Profiler Radar Yagi Antenna:

Radiating Elements & Booms: Constructed from high-quality 6063T6 aluminum alloys, which are anodised for ultra-corrosion resistance. N-Female RF connector is provided near the mounting flange.

Mounting Hardware: Typically made of type 316 marine-grade stainless steel to prevent degradation in harsh outdoor environments. Base plate is welded on the bottom of support boom which can be used a mounting flange.

Weather Insulation: High quality epoxy-based electrostatic powder coating on the complete wind profiler radar yagi antenna provides extra protection against corrosion in saline weather present in coastal areas.

Applications of Wind Profiler Radar Yagi Antenna:

Meteorological Observations: Wind profiler radar yagi antenna is suitable for measuring horizontal and vertical wind velocity and direction from ground level up to altitudes of 15–20 km.

Atmospheric Research: Wind profiler radar yagi antenna is capable of detecting weak clear-air signals and weak turbulence in various atmospheric layers.

Aviation Safety: Wind profiler radar yagi antenna providing real-time wind profile data at airports to detect wind shear and other hazardous conditions.

Pollution Monitoring: Wind profiler radar yagi antenna is also suitable for tracking air pollution movement within the planetary boundary layer.
