PX-1000: A Solid-State Polarimetric X-Band Weather Radar and Time–Frequency Multiplexed Waveform for Blind Range Mitigation

Bootstrap Dual-Polarimetric Spectral Density Estimator

“…OU-PRIME is a C-band polarimetric radar with a 0.45 Detailed technical specifications on OU-PRIME can be found in Palmer et al (2011), and on PX-1000 in Cheong et al (2013). Data were collected with KOUN In-depth analyses based on weather radar observations of the 10 May 2010 case can be found in Bodine et al (2011), and of the 20 May 2013 case in Kurdzo et al (2015).…”

A Pulse Compression Waveform for Weather Radars With Solid-State Transmitters

“…In (8), the shape of t = ψ(ω) is characterized by a set of coefficients {a n }. The waveform design becomes an optimization problem in which we want to find an optimal set of coefficients {a n } such that it makes the best tradeoffs between various requirements for weather observations.…”

“…However, the main drawbacks of pulse compression are a blind zone and range sidelobes. Both of these problems have been widely investigated, and there is extensive literature on these topics [3]- [8].…”

EEC's next generation weather radar: Solid-state polarimetric weather radar with advanced time-frequency multiplexing waveform design

“…However, traditional pulse compression has the "blind region" problem, for which reception is disabled during the transmission of the long pusle. To resolve this problem, the time-frequency multiplexing (TFM) technique has recently been implemented [1][2][3].…”

“…The pulse compression technique has been applied in the Ranger system to improve the radar sensitivity. To optimize the performance, X1 and X5 have used the waveform design based on an advanced time-frequency multiplexing (TFM) waveform scheme [1][2][3].…”
