Use of adaptive filtering techniques and deconvolution to obtain low range sidelobe samples

In this paper the use of adaptive filtering techniques to obtain better peak sidelobe suppression and integrated sidelobe energy will be discussed with regard to weather radars and obtaining better sensitivity with this technique. The performance of these new coefficient sets obtained with adaptive filter (using RLS optimization) will be discussed and presented. They will also be compared with the existing techniques and their peak sidelobe levels.

Coding schemes and Applications for Weather Radars

In this paper, we describe the evolution of a pair of polyphase coded waveform for use in second trip suppression in weather radar. The polyphase codes were designed and tested on NASA weather radar. The NASA dual-frequency, dual-polarization Doppler radar (D3R) was developed primarily as a ground validation tool for the GPM satellite dual-frequency radar. Recently, the D3R radar was upgraded with new versions of digital receiver hardware and firmware, which supports larger filter lengths and multiple phase coded waveforms, and also newer IF sub-systems. This has enhanced the capabilities of radar manifolds.

GPM Draft Science Implementation Plan Ground Validation Chapter

The validation of NASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) satellite precipitation products is important for their credibility and utility within the larger community. This document defines GPM ground validation scientific objectives and several programmatic components for meeting those objectives. Multi-year, multi-sensor ground-based observation programs in a few locations are proposed to generate local observation products and global error covariance products. Focused measurement programs utilizing aircraft, ships, and ground-based measurements would fill in geographic and scientific gaps not addressed by the multi-year observing programs.
