Abstract

A new signal processing system used for modern weather radar is introduced. The system processing is used on dual-linear polarization Doppler weather radar. The conventional pulse weather radar only observes one parameter, Z (reflectivity factor), the data scale is smaller than modern pulse Doppler radars and dual-polarization radar. Therefore, a new digital signal processing system is desired to realize the demands. This system is composed of four parts: HSP (hardwired signal processor), signal interface, HSO (high speed operation module) and host port interface.
