The comb beam transmission (TX) approach, which forms a power antenna radiation pattern with multiple mainlobes, was studied for application to phased array weather radars. Combining the use of comb TX and a digital beamforming receiver enables a weather radar to observe multiple directions simultaneously. Numerical simulations show that the two-way antenna radiation patterns formed by comb TXs have properties comparable to conventional weather radar observation: almost the same mainlobe widths are achieved, and with reference to the mainlobe peak, the maximum sidelobe level is less than -37 dB, and the sidelobe level reaches -60 dB at an angle of 13.77°. These properties are superior to the wide TXs that are normally utilized by phased array weather radars. A simulation that applied the comb TX approach to a current C-band weather radar showed that the volume scan time can be reduced from almost 500 s to 1 min.
