Abstract
An extraction method of the polarimetric atmospheric target has been proposed to obtain most useful information with noise, clutter and artificial signals as less as possible for dual- orthogonal frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) polarimetric radar. The signal processing is described for dual- orthogonal FMCW polarimetric radar. The polarimetric range- Doppler spectra of precipitation obtained in a single sweep time are calibrated by radar constant calibration and reciprocity modification. The mask matrix for filtering is constructed based on the double spectral linear depolarization ratios (sLdr) and mathematical morphology methods. The precipitation atmospheric targets are extracted successfully by multiplying the mask matrix with the measured range-Doppler spectra by the polarimetric agile radar SAnd X-band (PARSAX) radar. The proposed technique keeps more atmospheric targets and suppresses more clutter, noise and artificial signals compared with the original data and the data after double sLdr filtering combined with noise clipping.
