A Weather Radar for Every Need

Baron believes in partnering with our customers to identify which radar technology is right for their application. Each radar band has different strengths and weaknesses, and because Baron scientists designed Baron radar components, we understand how to match the customer with the correct radar.

  • Similar components across X, C, and S-band radars help reduce maintenance costs and supply chain sourcing.
  • Radars consisting of tube-based transmitters still offer the best images in flooding scenarios necessary in early warning systems.
  • S-Band Radar 

  • C-Band Radar

  • X-Band Radar

With up to a 1-megawatt klystron or magnetron transmitter, Baron S-band radars offer excellent weather detection in all environments and provide greater resistance to rain fade with the power and sensitivity for precise meteorological applications. 

  • Best for sub-tropical and tropical regions.
  • Able to accurately detect heavy rain and flooding.
  • The most popular version is a small S-band, which offers the power of the S-band without the massive increase in radar infrastructure that accompanies full-size versions.

Our C-band radar is our most popular customer solution because of its power, flexibility, and reasonable cost. With a 1-megawatt klystron transmitter or 350-kilowatt magnetron transmitter, Baron C-band radars deliver superior performance in any weather condition.

  • Crucial balance between price and performance.  
  • Suitable for any meteorological environment.  
  • Also available for mobile and transportable.

Baron’s 300-kilowatt X-band magnetron radar delivers exceptional accuracy for research applications and short-range meteorological surveillance.

  • Ideal for high-resolution analysis.  
  • Best for mobile applications.  
  • Primary used as a gap filler radar or for research applications.
