Weather Signal Power (SIG threshold)

The SIG parameter provides an estimate of the weather signal-to-noise ratio in dB for thresholding.

The SIG calculation is different depending on whether the optional R2 autocorrelation is computed.

SIG calculation
Autocorrelation Equation Description
R0, R1
S I G = 10 log [ T 0 N N ] + C C O R

Represents the SNR after the removal of clutter.

The CCOR value is that described for R0, R1 in Clutter correction (CCOR threshold).

R0, R1 ,R2
S I G = 10 log [ 2 π S R 0 2 π S ] + C C O R

The SIG is computed based on the SNR.

The signal power S is determined as described in Clutter correction (CCOR threshold).
