Multi-PRI Signal Processing for the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar. Part II: Range–Velocity Ambiguity Mitigation

Multiple pulse-repetition interval (multi-PRI) transmission is part of an adaptive signal transmission and processing algorithm being developed to combat range–velocity (RV) ambiguity for the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR). In Part I of this two-part paper, an adaptive clutter filtering proce...

description Multiple pulse-repetition interval (multi-PRI) transmission is part of an adaptive signal transmission and processing algorithm being developed to combat range–velocity (RV) ambiguity for the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR). In Part I of this two-part paper, an adaptive clutter filtering procedure that yields low biases in the moments estimates was presented. In this part, algorithms for simultaneously providing range-overlay protection and velocity dealiasing using multi-PRI signal transmission and processing are presented. The effectiveness of the multi-PRI RV ambiguity mitigation scheme is demonstrated using simulated and real weather radar data, with excellent results. Combined with the adaptive clutter filter, this technique will be used within the larger context of an adaptive signal transmission and processing scheme in which phase-code processing will be a complementary alternative.
