Comparison of Meteorological Radar Signal Detectability with Noncoherent and Spectral-Based Processing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etection of meteorological radar signals is often carried out using power averaging with noise subtraction either in the time domain or the spectral domain. This paper considers the relative signal processing gain of these ...
Quadratic Phase Coding for High Duty Cycle Radar Operation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractQuadratically varying phase codes applied from pulse to pulse can be used to impart a range-dependent frequency shift in the decoded signal of a pulsed radar. Radars employing such codes can operate at extremely ...
A Mobile Rapid-Scanning X-band Polarimetric (RaXPol) Doppler Radar System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: novel, rapid-scanning, X-band (3-cm wavelength), polarimetric (RaXPol), mobile radar was developed for severe-weather research. The radar employs a 2.4-m-diameter dual-polarized parabolic dish antenna on a high-speed ...
Remote Sensing of Clouds and Fog with a 1.4-mm Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A recently developed 1.4 mm wavelengh incoherent radar has potential for remote sensing of low reflectivity atmospheric targets for ranges up to several kilometers. Power output of 60 W is achieved using an Extended ...
Polarization Diversity Pulse-Pair Technique for Millimeter-WaveDoppler Radar Measurements of Severe Storm Features
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Polarization Diversity Pulse-Pair (PDPP) technique can extend simultaneously the maximum unambiguous range and the maximum unambiguous velocity of a Doppler weather radar. This technique has been applied using a ...
A Volume-Imaging Radar Wind Profiler for Atmospheric Boundary Layer Turbulence Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the turbulent eddy profiler (TEP), a volume-imaging, UHF radar wind profiler designed for clear-air measurements in the atmospheric boundary layer on scales comparable to grid cell sizes of large eddy ...
