Multiple-parameter radar measurements involve the combination of several different radar measurements, such as reflectivity measurements at different frequencies or polarizations, into a single parameter. Prediction of the effects of antenna sidelobes on such measurements can be rather involved since each component measurement is subject independently to sidelobe effects. This paper develops a simple model that can be used to examine sidelobe contributions to multiple-parameter radar measurements and identifies the factors controlling the magnitude of the sidelobe contribution.
