DOI: 10.1175/jtech-d-23-0099.1
Abstract: This study describes a novel combination of methods to remove spurious spectral peaks, or “spurs,” from Doppler spectra produced by a vertically pointing, S-band radar. The University of Massachusetts S-band frequency-modulated, continuous-wave radar (UMass FMCW)… read more here.
