A novel wind profiler radar real-time signal processing system

A novel wind profiler radar (WPR) signal processor constructed by commercial digital down-converter (DDC) board and computer is proposed in this paper. The implementation scheme of the proposed signal processor, signal processing procedure, main design points and signal processing algorithm are also presented. The proposed signal processor brings the advantages of high reliability, high real-time, high extensibility and low cost. Experiments and practical operation demonstrate that the proposed signal processor could satisfy the requirements of wind profiler radar real-time signal processing.
