Statistical Significance of Gabor Frames Expansions - Simple Filtering Principles for Radar Wind Profiler Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new signal processing method is presented for the suppression of intermittent clutter echoes in radar wind profilers. The technique presented makes use of a discrete Gabor frame expansion in combination with a statistical significance test. The rationale of this algorithm is outlined and an example using data obtained with an operational 482 MHz wind profiler is given.

Advanced Intermittent Clutter Filtering for Radar Wind Profiler: Signal Separation through a Gabor Frame Expansion and its Statistics
A new method is presented for the suppression of intermittent clutter echoes in radar wind profilers. This clutter type is a significant problem during the seasonal bird migration and often results in large discrepancies between profiler wind measurements and independent reference data. The technique presented makes use of a discrete Gabor frame expansion of the coherently averaged time series ...
متن کاملRadar wind profiler signal characteristics during bird migration episodes
The Gabor transform is used to investigate non-stationary wind profiler radar signals, which are frequently occurring during the seasonal bird migration. It is shown that the Gabor phase space representation contains a wealth of information and can be effectively used to separate the atmospheric signal component from the clutter. The crucial role of the dwell time as one of the primary sampling...
متن کاملFrame expansions for Gabor multipliers
Discrete Gabor multipliers are composed of rank one operators. We shall prove, in the case of rank one projection operators, that the generating operators for such multipliers are either Riesz bases (exact frames) or not frames for their closed linear spans. The same dichotomy conclusion is valid for general rank one operators under mild and natural conditions. This is relevant since discrete G...
متن کاملNonharmonic Gabor Expansions
We consider Gabor systems generated by a Gaussian function and prove certain classical results of Paley and Wiener on nonharmonic Fourier series of complex exponentials for the Gabor expansion. In particular, we prove a version of Plancherel-Po ́lya theorem for entire functions with finite order of growth and use the Hadamard factorization theorem to study regularity, exactness and deficienc...
متن کاملMicrophysical retrievals from simultaneous polarimetric and profiling radar observations
The character of precipitation detected at the surface is the final product of many microphysical interactions in the cloud above, the combined effects of which may be characterized by the observed drop size distribution (DSD). This necessitates accurate retrieval of the DSD from remote sensing data, especially radar as it offers large areal coverage, high spatial resolution, and rigorous quali...
