Signal Processing Input Fields


Signal Processing Input Fields 

  Input Unit Min. Limit Max. Limit Description
Coherent System Processing Option --- --- --- Options: Pulse Pair Autocorrelation*, PHI-Capon Estimator
SNRn Error Threshold * db 0 100 SNRn error threshold for Pulse Pair Autocorrelation
Velocity Search Window * m/s 0 100 Velocity search window for Pulse Pair Autocorrelation
Velocity Bandwidth m/s 0 100 Velocity bandwidth for PHI-Capon Estimator
Gross Error Probability Threshold Frac. % 0 1 Gross error probability threshold for PHI-Capon Estimator
Speckle Statistics Option --- --- --- Options: include speckle statistics, do not  include speckle statistics
Above PBL Vertical Bin km 0 10 Vertical layer thickness above the PBL for for shot accumulation 
Within PBL Vertical Bin km 0 2 Vertical layer thickness within the PBL for for shot accumulation 
Processing Mode Option --- --- --- Options: Single shot mode, Accumulation mode
Angle Bin deg 0 360 Angle bin for shot accumulation for a conical scan
