Triple-PRT Signal Processing for Weather Radars

This is a very comprehensive book for anyone interested of the triple-PRT Doppler weather radar signal processing algorithms and the related scientific questions. The use of triple-PRT pulsing makes it possible to extend the unambiguous Doppler velocity range significantly and cover velocities encountered in typical weather phenomena, including velocities higher than 50 m/s, without imposing additional restric- tions on the radar's operating range. Contrary to popular belief that the development of proper ground clutter removal algorithms for non-uniform sampling methods is not possible, we demonstrate a ground clutter removal system that offers performance superior to that of standard schemes. This document focuses primarily on the performance of ground clutter filtering with triple-PRT processing.
