Wide-band noise modulation is added to the adaptive scan technique for spaceborne rain radar. The performance of this technique is studied by simulation using one month of TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) Precipitation Radar (PR) data from the viewpoints of improving the sensitivity and reducing power consumption. The results show that the adaptive scan technique with wide-band noise modulation uses about 25% less energy than the conventional scanning technique. The adaptive scan using wide-band noise modulation is more effective than that using a normal pulse for localized rainy areas. Surface data as well as rainfall data can be obtained by using the adaptive scan using wide-band noise modulation.
