Estimation of Doppler Profile Using Multiparameter Cost Function Method

Wind profilers (WPs) are a special category of ground-based radar instruments used to obtain 3-D profile of wind velocity along the altitude in atmosphere. They transmit radio wave pulses in very high frequency (VHF) or ultrahigh frequency (UHF) bands in vertical and near-vertical directions. The Doppler frequency shift and the time of flight of the echo signals from each beam are measured. These ...
