Theoretical analysis and engineering solution of parasitical spectrum in the CINRAD transmitter

摘要

To deal with the universal problem of parasitical frequency spectrum in China New Generation Weather Radar transmitter,this paper establishes mathematical models for parasitical signals existing in radar transmitters and analyzes their effects on weather radar performance.Based on an engineering analysis of their possible sources,a step-by-step method to eliminate parasitical spectrum is presented,which is applied to troubleshooting experimental weather radar.Eventually,parasitical spectrum is basically eliminated.As a result,improved spectrum purity and reduced phase noise is achieved.Moreover,accuracy for velocity estimate as well as ground clutter suppression ability of the radar system is enhanced.
