Abstract
A weather radar system is coupled to an antenna. The weather radar system includes a processor for controlling pulses provided to the antenna and for processing return pulses received by the antenna. The processor is configured to vary a range resolution and loop gain relationship based on a data calculation. The weather radar system includes a processor for generating pulses and for processing return pulses received by the antenna. The processor generates high resolution data from the return pulses. The processor uses the high resolution data to perform high resolution radar analysis including removal of point and/or point-like target returns and reassembles the high resolution data to perform high gain radar analysis at lower resolutions.
