Most weather radars have wavelengths that range between 0.8 centimeters (cm) and 10.0 cm. Generally short wavelengths mean smaller and less expensive equipment. Short wavelength radars are more effective in detecting small particles such as cloud droplets and drizzle drops.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. Low-frequency radar is radar which uses frequencies lower than 1 GHz such as L-band, UHF, VHF, and HF, as opposed to the usual radar bands, which range from 2 GHz to 40 GHz. The radar cross section of any target depends on the frequency transmitted by the radar.
