The current article introduces the novel hardware design and signal processing of EEC's latest X-band solid-state polarimetric weather radar: Ranger system (X1/X5), including the implementation of pulse compression technique with the advanced time-frequency multiplexing (TFM) waveform design. The effects/limitations of radar configurations (e.g., pulse width, transmitter power, and bandwidth) for...
One of the instruments recommended for deployment on the Aerosol/Cloud/Echosystems (ACE) mission is a new advanced Cloud Profiling Radar (ACE-CPR). The atmospheric sciences community has initiated the effort to define the scientific requirements for this instrument. Initial studies focusing on system configuration, performance and feasibility start from the successful experience of the Cloud Profiling...
The NSF Engineering Research Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) is advancing a new approach to radar network design based on dense networks of short-range radars. The center's concept is to deploy small radars atop communication towers, rooftops, and other elements of the infrastructure as a means to comprehensively map winds, rainfall, and other atmospheric and airborne...
We have developed a low-power and high- sensitivity cloud profiling radar, named FALCON-I, transmitting frequency modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) at 95 GHz for ground-based observations. Millimeter wave at 95 GHz is used to realize much higher sensitivity than lower frequencies to small cloud particles. An FM-CW type radar realizes similar sensitivity with much smaller output power to a pulse type...
