The current article introduces the novel hardware design and signal processing of EEC's latest X-band solid-state polarimetric weather radar: Ranger system (X1/X5), including the implementation of pulse compression technique with the advanced time-frequency multiplexing (TFM) waveform design. The effects/limitations of radar configurations (e.g., pulse width, transmitter power, and bandwidth) for the implementation of pulse compression/TFM and the concept of optimizing the waveform design are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
