Electromagnetic interference is one of the main challenges in weather radar data quality assurance. In Italy, as in most European countries, C-band weather radars are continuously dealing with interferences caused by RLAN [radio local area network] and WLAN [wireless local area network], which share the same frequency band as weather radars.  3, record 1, English, - C%2Dband%20weather%20radar

Un radar météorologique en bande C comporte une antenne parabolique qui émet un faisceau d'ondes électromagnétiques dans la bande de fréquences des 5 GHz [gigahertz]. En se déplaçant dans les plans vertical et horizontal, le radar scrute l'espace environnant. Il a une portée d'environ 100 km. Les ondes émises ont la propriété de se refléter sur les gouttes de pluie, les grêlons et la neige. Leurs échos, qui correspondent à une infime partie de l'onde reçue, sont reçus par le radar qui les analyse grâce à sa grande sensibilité. Le radar en déduit la distance qui le sépare des gouttes et localise ainsi les zones de précipitations.  2, record 1, French, - radar%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique%20en%20bande%20C

As replacement for traditional textbooks, "electronic schoolbags" could reduce the weight of schoolbags and expand the repository of learning resources. An "electronic schoolbag" system consists of hardware such as Personal Digital Assistant(PDA) or notebook computer together with a wireless connection to the Local Area Network(LAN) of the school and the Internet.  2, record 3, English, - electronic%20schoolbag
