A new method to separate ground clutter and atmospheric reflections in the case of similar Doppler velocities
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a new ground clutter suppression technique which preserves weather echoes. This clutter suppression method uses both statistical and polarimetric properties of the target and clutter. This technique is intended for use in atmospheric studies for weather echoes the spectral properties of which do not differ much from those of ground clutter. This technique can be applied both to the total signal or to its separate Doppler frequency components.

On differentiating ground clutter and insect echoes from Doppler weather radars using archived data
Normally wind measurements from Doppler radars rely on the presence of rain. During fine weather, insects become a potential radar target for wind measurement. However, it is difficult to separate ground clutter and insect echoes when spectral or polarimetric methods are not available. Archived reflectivity and velocity data from repeated 5 scans provide alternative methods. The probability of ...
متن کاملP10.11 Automatic Detection and Removal of Ground Clutter Contamination on Weather Radars
Radar backscatter from the ground can contaminate weather signals, often resulting in severely biased meteorological estimates. If not removed, these clutter returns tend to bias reflectivity high as well as Doppler velocity and spectrum width toward zero. A ground clutter filter (GCF) can mitigate this contamination and provide unbiased meteorological estimates but typically with reduced quali...

Abstract- Suppressing clutter is one of the most crucial phases in radar signal processing. Also, Blind Source Separation (BSS) is one of the recent and very important problems in signal processing that shows its efficiency in many applications. Degenerate Unmixin Estimation Technique (DUET) is one of the Underdetermined BSS algorithms that separate sources from mixtures using only two mixtures...
متن کاملAdaptation of Rejection Algorithms for a Radar Clutter
In this paper, the algorithms for adaptive rejection of a radar clutter are synthesized for the case of a priori unknown spectral-correlation characteristics at wobbulation of a repetition period of the radar signal. The synthesis of algorithms for the non-recursive adaptive rejection filter (ARF) of a given order is reduced to determination of the vector of weighting coefficients, which realiz...
متن کاملAdaptive Signal Detection in Auto-Regressive Interference with Gaussian Spectrum
A detector for the case of a radar target with known Doppler and unknown complex amplitude in complex Gaussian noise with unknown parameters has been derived. The detector assumes that the noise is an Auto-Regressive (AR) process with Gaussian autocorrelation function which is a suitable model for ground clutter in most scenarios involving airborne radars. The detector estimates the unknown...
