| description | The Middle Atmosphere Alomar Radar System (MAARSY) is a monostatic radar with
an active phased array antenna designed for studies of phenomena in the
mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Its design in particular the flexible beam
forming and steering capability makes it to a powerful instrument to perform
observations with high angular and temporal resolution. The knowledge of the
actual radiation pattern is crucial to configure and analyze experiments
carried out with the radar. The simulated radiation pattern is evaluated by
the observation of cosmic radio emissions which are compared to a Global Sky
temperature Maps model consisting of the most recent, thorough and accurate
radio astronomy surveys. Additionally to these passive receive-only
experiments active two-way experiments are presented, which corroborate the
findings of the passive experiments. |
