| I/Q signal correction
options |
- Amplitude jitter correction based on running average of transmit power from
burst pulse
- Interference correction for
single pulse interference
- Saturation correction (3 ... 5
dB)
|
| Primary processing modes |
- Poly-Pulse Pair (PPP)
- DFT
- Random or phase coded second trip
echo filtering/recovery
- Optional polarization with full
co-variance matrix (Zdr, PHIDP,
LDR, RHOHV, and so on)
- Optional pulse compression
|
| Processing options |
- Azimuth averaging: 2 ... 1024 pulses
- Corrections for gaseous
attenuation and1/R2
- Dual-polarization: Alternating,
Simultaneous, H-only, V-only
- Clutter filters: Fixed/Adaptive
GMAP in frequency domain, or IIR time domain
- High sensitivity Rhv STAR mode processing: >3dB improvement in
detectability
- Pulse integration up to1024
- Range de-aliasing: random
phase
- Scan angle synchronization for data acquisition
- Up to 4 pulse widths
- Velocity de-aliasing: dual PRF
velocity unfolding at 2:3, 3:4, and 4:5 for 2X, 3X, or 4X velocity unfoldings

| Data outputs (8 and 16 bit) |
Zh, Zv, Zhv,
V, W, SQI, ZDR,
LDR, RHOHV, PHIDP, and
KDP |
| Optional data outputs |
HCLASS,
I/Q |
| Data quality thresholds |
- Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)—Used to reject bins having weak signals; typically
applied to dBZ
- Signal quality index (SQI)—Used to reject bins having incoherent signals;
typically applied to mean velocity and width
- Clutter-to-signal ratio
(CSR)—Used to reject range bins having very strong clutter; typically applied to
mean velocity, width, and dBZ
- Speckle Filter—Removes single-bin
targets such as aircraft or noise and fills isolated missing pixels
