Ground Clutter Detection Using the Statistical Properties of Signals Received With a Polarimetric Radar

Polarimetric weather radars provide additional measurements that allow better characterization of the targeted medium. Because ground clutter has different polarimetric characteristics from weather echoes, dual-polarization measurements can be used to distinguish one from the other. Ground clutter a...

description Polarimetric weather radars provide additional measurements that allow better characterization of the targeted medium. Because ground clutter has different polarimetric characteristics from weather echoes, dual-polarization measurements can be used to distinguish one from the other. Ground clutter and weather signals also have different statistical properties which can be utilized to distinguish one from the other. A test statistic, obtained from the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), and a simple Bayesian classifier (SBC), with inputs from the mean and covariance of the received signals, are developed to detect ground clutter in the presence of weather signals. It is found that the test statistic produces false detections caused by narrow-band zero-velocity weather signals while the SBC can effectively neutralize them. This work is aimed at detecting ground clutter based solely on data from each resolution volume. The performances of the test statistic and SBC are shown by applying them to radar data collected with the University of Oklahoma-Polarimetric Radar for Innovation in Meteorology and Engineering.
