IF signal conversion process
The following figure shows the process RVP10 follows to convert the IF signal into corrected reflectivity, velocity, and width, including:
- IF signal processing
- I/Q processing and clutter filtering
- Range averaging and clutter microsuppression
- Moment calculations (reflectivity, velocity, spectrum width)
- Thresholding for data quality and speckle filtering
- Reflectivity calibration
- Algorithms for ambiguity resolution (dual PRF, dual PRT, random phase)
- Calibration and testing
