Abstract :
A new rain rate estimation algorithm is presented for simple terrestrial range-gated radars commonly used in radio propagation studies. Use of the algorithm permits the effective elimination of ground-based reflections from objects which are independent of precipitation conditions. Results from simulations on a 9 GHz terrestrial radar system are presented
