Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems and methods for measuring wave fields of a body of water. A system can include a radiation source and an antenna that can cooperate with the radiation source to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal to a wave field having one or more waves. The antenna can receive backscattered signals from the wave field. The system can include a local oscillator and a processor. The local oscillator downconverts the backscattered signals into baseband signals and the processor can process the baseband signals to determine a relative velocity of each of the waves of the wave field. The processor can further be programmed to identify an observed portion of the backscattered signals as bad data and remove the bad data from further processing.
