Radar Data Acquisition and Processing

The RADAR Signal Acquisition, Conditioning and Processing System   (RADAR SACPS) acquires atmospheric RADAR return signals at 206.5 MHz. It performs signal processing and extraction of Wind parameters such as Wind speed, Wind direction and Wind velocity. It involves Online and Offline signal processing like Decoding and Coherent Integration, Normalization, Windowing, Fourier analysis, etc.
