Application of Radar Signal Spectrum Width Estimation to Detect Vertical Airflows
Tóm tắt
Weather hazards caused by the vertical air
movement are considered. It is stated that the only effective mean for
their detection is the weather radar. The methods used for this purpose
in modern radiolocation are listed, and the difficulties encountered in
their practical implementation are discussed. A new method developed by
the authors to detect the zone of local vertical movement of elementary
reflectors is proposed. It is based on comparing the energy spectrum
width of the output signal in the phase and amplitude detection
channels.
