Mobile X-band Dual Polarization Phased Array Radar: System Requirements and Development

This paper describes the X-band dual polarization phased array radar being developed at the University of Massachusetts. The high level system architecture is presented. The scanning strategy as well as pulse compressor design considerations are discussed.

Using Wavelet Analysis to Detect Tornadoes from Doppler Radar Radial-Velocity Observations

A wavelet-based algorithm is developed to detect tornadoes from Doppler weather radar radial-velocity observations. Within this algorithm, a relative region-to-region velocity difference (RRVD) is defined based on the scaleand location-dependent wavelet coefficients and this difference represents the relative magnitude of the radial velocity shear between two adjacent regions of different scale...

Bayesian Analysis of Linear Phased-array Radar

A number of methods have been developed to analyze the response of the linear phased array radar. These perform remarkably well when the number of sources is known, but in cases where a determination of this number is required, problems are often encountered. These problems can be resolved by a Bayesian approach. Here, a linear phased-array consisting of equally spaced elements is considered. A...
