Waveform for Short-Dwell-Time Meteorological Doppler Radars

摘要

A modulation waveform for meteorological Doppler radars that obtain estimates of radar reflectivity, mean velocity, and Doppler width with very short dwell time is described. The transmitted signal is a sequence of three identical chirp pulses; signal parameters can be estimated from the radar echoes of a single sequence with standard deviation similar to that of conventional meteorological radars that use dwell time more than an order of magnitude longer.
