Abstract
This paper describes the implementation of the staggered pulse repetition time (PRT) technique on NOAA's research and development WSR-88D in Norman, Oklahoma. The prototype algorithm incorporates a novel rule for the correct assignment of Doppler mean velocity that is needed to accommodate arbitrary stagger ratios. Description of the rule, consideration of errors, and choice of appropriate stagger ratios are presented. The staggered PRT algorithm is integrated with the standard processing on the WSR-88D, some details of which are included in the paper. A simple ground clutter canceller removes the pure complex time series mean (DC) component from autocovariance estimates; censoring of overlaid echoes and thresholding are equivalent to those used on the WSR-88D. Further, a cursory verification of statistical errors indicates good agreement with theoretical expectations. Although the staggered PRT algorithm operates in real time, it was advantageous to collect several events of staggered PRT time s...

Method and system for the determination of the velocity of at least one target by meteorological radar

TL;DR: In this paper, a spectrum of autocorrelation function of the received signal is determined by exploiting the autocorerelation values, and a speed of the target is determined based on the determined spectrum.

Spectral Moment Estimates from Correlated Pulse Pairs

TL;DR: In this article, the first two power spectrum moments from the pulse pair covariance are analyzed and the mean frequency estimation from interlaced pulse pairs is compared to provide a continuum of statistics from equispaced tightly correlated to statistically independent pulse pairs.
