This paper presents the derivation of a correction to the Probert-Jones weather radar equation for use with advanced frequency agile, phased array radars. It is shown that two additional terms are required to account for frequency hopping and electronic beam pointing. The corrected weather radar equation provides a basis for accurate and efficient computation of a reflectivity estimate from the weather signal data samples. Lastly, an understanding of calibration requirements for these advanced weather radars is shown to follow naturally from the theoretical framework.
