CCD-world: Influence of meteorological radar system on CCD electronics boundary="------------AE04748D73E6627D45F066A6"

[Byeong-Gon Park]

Is there anybody who has information about the influence on
CCD electronics by meteorological radar nearby?

The governmetal meteorological agency in my country is planning
to setup a radar 500m to the west of our telescope.
The freqency range will be 5.3 - 5.7 GHz and peak power is
around 750KW with normal run at 110 - 570W.
The direction of observation will be nearly horizontal,
making 360 degree turn on rainy-cloudy days.

They say that they will do every precaution to make no harm
to our observing system caused by this powerful EM wave
source. But I wonder whether this is really harmful or not,
especially to our CCD electronics.

Please send me any technical information or experience on
similar situation.

Thanks,
Byeong-Gon
