ABSTRACT
The results of an expanded study and investigation of the
Pulse Pair technique for estimating the first and second
moments (mean and variance) of doppler spectra for radar
backscatter from atmospheric phenomena are presented.
The theory is extended te include the effects of non-ideal
conditions, such as noise, and experimentally verified by
extensive performance tests using simulated weather
signals with controllable parameters. A proposed experi-
mental model of a real-time digital pulse pair processor
is defined and compared with alternate processing tech-
niques. Based on the encouraging results of the study,
recommendations are made to carry the theory into
practice; these include the construction of a real-time
digital pulse pair processor with flexible characteristics
to gather and reduce data for evaluation while operating
with real radars, and the development of additional
related theory needed to guide the experimental effort.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1. 1Scp
This is the Final Report on Contract F19628-71-C-0126, which is
devoted to the study and investigation of the pulse pair measurement tech-
niqu for determination of the first and second moments of Doppler spectra
of radar backscatLer from atmospheric phenomena. This technique pro-
mises to greatly simplify and thereby reduce the costs of deriving quantita-
tive data from a pulse Doppler weather radar. Initial efforts in the applica-
tion of the pulse pair technique to weather radar signals were conducted
under a portion of a prior contract with the Weather Radar Branch of the
AFCRL Meteorology Laboratory (F19628-68-C-0345). The emphasis on the
present contract has been to extend the theory and to experimentally verify
the performance of the pulse pair estimating technique to include the effects
of non-ideal conditions, such as noise, that are encountered in an operational
environment with real equipment; and to prepare a design specification for a
real time pulse pair signal processor that could be utilized in weather radar
research.
In the interests of overall continuity and perspective, and to facilitateunderstanding, this report provides a unified, self-sufficient presentation ofthe theory and experimental work to date, including some of the early results
from the previous contract.
1.2 Summary
Major steps forward that were taken during the present contract include
(1) establishing a theoretical foundation for quantitatively predicting the per-
formance capabilities of the pulse pair estimators under various combinations
* of conditions, and optimizing the design parameters of the radar-processor I
system; and (2) experimentally verifying the theory by hundreds of quantitatively
controlled performance tests conducted with the aid of the simulation systemdeveloped for this purpose.
These studies have demonstrated 6nalytically, the feasibility of im-
plementing a real time signal processor, using the pulse pair computing
algorithm as its central core to obtain quantitative estimates of mean velocity
and velocity spread under a wide variety of conditions and for a wide variety
of radars. This report describes the initial concepts and features of a processor
enabling experimental confirmation of its predicted performance, in a form

suitable for performing meteorological research with Doppler radars as well.
With the instrument proposed here it will be possible to collect and reduce
data under a wide variety of conditions economically. This will rmake it
possible to establish a broad data base from which the operational utility of
a Doppler weather radar may be inferred. The profosed signal processor
will then prov-ide a benchmark for sizing and designing a signal processor
for operational use.
The key features available in a pulse pair signal processor -ire
I. quantitative (digital) estimates of spectral mean, spectral width
and target reflectivity in real time
Z. large numbers of contiguous range gates may be processed
simultaneously (up to 10Z4 cells in the proposed implementation)
3. selectable dwell time may be used to adjust the block length of the
signal processor to the radar scanning requirement and to the
meteorological conditions (integration of up to 1024 samples per
range cell to be provided in proposed signal processor)
4. range resolution may be obtained (resolution equivalent to
ft (. 5us) in the proposed implementation)
5. predictable performance based on self contained data (confidence
bounds on all estimates are computable based on signal processor
derived S/N data)
6. sliding window operation is feasible (estimates based on the
most recent N seconds of data)

as well as the features common to all digital signal processors, namely
11. non critical adjustmentsr
7 12. long termdrift free,stable performance without calibration
13. flexibility in interfacing with a variety of radars.
The digital outputs of the processor can be displayed, recorded, or
rerioted for further displhiy or processing.
To fully utilize the processor capabilities it must operate in conjunction
with a coherent radar receiver that has a wide dynamic range and is able to
accept AGC control voltages from the processor at a range cell-to-range
cell rate. To insure compaHIillity, it is proposed to incorporate in the
*processor a self-contained receiver with the required characteristics that
will accept 1.F. and reference signals from the radar, gain control voltages
from the processor, and deliver the required in-phase and quadrature complex
video signals to the processor. Since the processor measures signal amplitudes
to form the AGC control voltage for each range cell, this information is avail-
able as a digital output. Together with the large useful receiver dynamic
range, as an added benefit the processor amplitude output in conjunction with
range information can also be utilized for other purposes, such as the cal-
culation of target reflectivity.
It should be noted that although there are other methods of estimating
spectrai mean. the pulse pair technique provides quantitative estimates of
this parameter in digital form, and is the only known nethod for estimating
spectral width in real tine.

of the pulse pair program. The technical background ..s presented in the

Detailed Analyses, Computer Programs, and Spectral Plots are in-
cluded in the Appendices in support of the main text of this report.
1.3 Technical Background
A commonly occurring problem in radar measurements is to estimate
the spectral mean and variance of a unimodal Gaussian signal imbedded in
white Gaussian noice. The classical technique used is to form spectral
estimates from the time sequence, and then form estimates of the spectral
mean and variance by standard formulae. It is not difficult to show that these
techniques are not optimum and result in signal processor dependent bias
errors which affect the system sensitivity.
When both mean and variance are unknown, the optimum spectral para-
meter estimates can only be obtained implicitly from the solution of a trans-
cendental equation in which the form of the underlying spectrum is known.
To overcome these defects, various investigators have resorted to threshold
tests to reject the noisy frequencies, in order to apply classical mean and
variance estimators to the residue after thresholding.
This report describes a new technique, known as pulse pair analysis,
which bypasses the stage of spectrum analysis, and directly estimates spectral
mean and variance. Not only does this technique result in a less complex set
of calculations to be made by the processor, but it has a form which is based on
an optimum estimation theory and as such is relatively free of arbitrary choices.
Furthermore, the technique is robust with respect to underlying spectral
shape, and permits more flexibility in the choice of radar waveform.
Its major disadvantage with respect to classical spectral parameter esti-
mation is the fact that the technique does not indicate the presence of multi-
peaked spectra. When the full spectral analysis is available clutter regions
may be identified and possibly rejected, and separated non-standard spectral
shapes may be detected. Pulse pair analysis, being a spectral shape inde-
pendent estimation technique, requires a clutter rejection device preceding it
(where necessary), and yields only indirect evidence of peculiar spectrum
conditions (abnormally broad widths) for indicating the presence of multiple
lobed spectra.
As for sensitivity, simulation evidence, to be presented in a later sec-
tion, indicates that the sensitivity of the pulse pair estimation is comparable
to that of the shape independent spectrum processing techniques.

2. 1 The Pulse Pair Estimators
It may be shown 1 that the optimum estimate of the spectral mean and
variance of a sequence of pairs of measurements which are uncorrelated is
given by

rik is the observed signal, S(f) is the underlying spectral density
function, and aN is the mean equivalent noise cross-section (see Figure 1).
It is possible to rewrite these equations in a more illuminating form by
defining

Thus the latter equation alone determines w, and furthermore, if R(T) is real,A
the first equation is independent of w.
Essentially this result says that if the underlying spectral density function
of the signal is characterized by a spectrum whose shape is invariant to frequencyL
shift and broadening in the specified manner, then these two parameters may beC estimated from the pair wise measurement directly by estimating the complexi: correlation function of the data.

A 2 (2A8)
R IwT) R(O)- w/ZwR (0) (2-,T) (2-8)
(No first order term is present because S(f) by definition has nean zero.) Also by defi-
nition R(O) and R" (0) are both unity (the first to have unit energy, the secondIA
to define the parameter w, i.e., unit variance for the underlying signal shape).
As a result, in this case, the estimator of spectral width parameter is given
by
2 x1 (2-9)(ZT

These are the pulse pair spectral parameter estimators suggested by[ .: Rummnler.()3(4
The approximations made in arriving at these results indicate that noI- * difficulty in utilizing these estimators should arise beyond that expected from
sampling considerations. Thus frequencies in excess of will be arribiguously
folded by the mean estimator, and the variance estimator will be degraded when
the underlying spectral width begins to approach the sampling frequency.

It is also important to note that the explicit estimators do not depend
directly on any particular spectral shape. This is not true of estimators of
these same parameters based on spectral measurements.
2.2 Estimation Accuracy
Since (2-9) and (2-10) are explicit functions of the data, it is straightforward
to analyze the expected performance of the estimators. The analysis is com-
plicated by the nonlinearity of the estimator functions.Appendix A gives an approximate analysis of the performance of both the
mean and the width estimators. It is shown there that the estimator is unbiased
and that when the per pulse signal to noise ratio is useful, the variance of these
estimators Is given by
ZM Var (Zwf 0 T) = [E(+ Ze "2( + 2nwT 12-11
and
2M (2TwT) Var (ZTwT) N N ( Ze "( 2 1wT)) 2 ( 1 -(2wT) (2-12)
+ (ZiTwT) 3
where
M iumber of pairs in the estimate (r number of data points in the
sample)
N/S = per pulse noise to signal ratio
These forMulae were derived for Gaussian random variables with Gaussian
shaped spectra. More general formulae are available in Appendix A.
The general formulae were derived for a uniform train of samples andaccount for all correlations in the data.
(4)Figures la and 2 show plots of these functions. Comparable figures
derived for the case of independent pulse pair measurements, (i.e., from
a nonuniform pulse train, with successive pairs spaced so far apart that the
echoes are completely decorrelated) are shown in Figures 3 and 4. Comparison
of these figures, which show negligible differences at useful signal to noise
ratios, are indication again of the robustness of the technique.

2.3 Hardware Implications
The pulse pair technique calculation in essence requires 2 complex pair
multiplies and adds for each new data point in order to form X and Y as indicated
in (2-3) and (2-4). The conversion of these to mean and variance estimates is
an operation which need not be carried out at the input data rate. To bring this
I into sharp focus, a digital spectrum analyzer capable of processing up to 1024L
complex samples at a single range, would require 5 times the number of con-
parable arithmetic operations and up to 500 times the data storage of a corn-
parable pulse pair processor.
This efficiency in signal processing makes it possible to consider im-
plementing a real time signal processor which can obtain spectral mean and
variance estimates in real time with selectable dwell time per gate of up to a
1000 complex samples per dwell, with as many as 1000 range cells processed
simultaneously. Available technology currently permits these calculations
to be made at a 2 MHz data rate, thereby permitting range resolution 0. 5es
(i. e., 250 ft.) and even higher thruput rate processors are being developed
now.
In a later section we describe a candidate signal processor implementing
this technique to the above performance specifications. That section detailsthe flexibility and performance which may be expected of a relatively modest
signal processor.
2. 4 Waveform Flexibility
Tie restriction of the processor to consecutive pairs makes possible
a great deal of waveform flexibility which can be used to advantage to
overcome certain inherent radar limitations. Prime among these are the
*range-Doppler coupling which makes the unambiguous Doppler interval of the
radar vary inversely with its unambiguous range interval. For weatherradars, this amounts to a reduction of the Doppler analysis band of the radar
as its range is extended.
The pulse pair technique makes it possible to use the waveform shown in
Figure Sa to change the range-Doppler coupling relationship to
f < 1 (2-13)d Tz

This makes it possible to increase the Doppler coverage band on relatively
small cells located at greater distances from the radar. Selection of T1
and T? permits the radar to operate with an unambiguous Doppler spread
reciprocally related to the dimension of an isolated cell. In weather radars
such a technique might permit the unambiguous Doppler measurement
of such conditions as severe convective cells and possibly local CAT con-
ditions at low angles and long ranges.
The second waveform possibility, shown in Figure 5b, is available with
both equally and unequally spaced pairs. The accuracy equations, (2-11) and
(2-12), reveal that a key perfcrmance parameter is the per pulse signal to
noise ratio. The equations indicate that there is an optimum S/N per pulse
which minimizes the measurement errors for a fixed radar energy. That is,
if S/N and M are related by the equation
= M (S/N ) (2-14)
(which indicates that a fixed energy is available to the measurement that
may be distributed in any way between the number of pairs processed and the
S/N used per pulse) then either equation (2-11) or (2-12 has a minimum at a
definite value of M.
In particular, it may be shown that for the measurement of mean
velocity, the optimum per pulse S/N is given by
(S/N)opt = 1T wT Cfr) 1/2 (2-15)
and at that point the measurement variance is given by
^(ZT) 2 [ - 2 (2n wT) 2 ( -wTVn)1/2l
Var f l0T) opt e e + 2
e (2-16)
Figures 6 and 7 indicate the sensitivity of this condition to nonoptimum
conditions for mean Doppler and width measurements respectively. It is
important to note that minimum error for both measurements does not occur
at the same value of signal to noise ratio. Indeed, the curves show that sub-
stantially more per pulse S/N is required to minimize width errors.

The tradeoff characteristics may be used to establish the benefits to
be obtained by the frequency modulation waveform of Figure 5b as follows.
Suppose that the radar and meteorological parameters are such that only normalized
widths of 0. 05 or greater are of interest. Then Figure 7 indicates that the data A
should be collected at the signal to noise ratio of 7.5 dB per pulse. Suppose
then that it were required to make that measurement to an accuracy of 109/6.

Thus,at least M = (36 - 7.5) dB

2If the peak power in the pulse were such that 13. 5 dB per pulse were
available for the measurement, this theory suggests that transmission of
four frequency coded subpulses each with /. 5 dB per pulse signal to noise
ratio for a total transmission of 250 groups of four might result in bette
overall accuracy than would the same length of uncoded transmission. Tie
improvement in performance would be negligible at wT = .05 for the con-
ditions given, but at wT = 0. 1 the frequency modulation would improve the
accuracy by 40% = ( -I).

rhere is an important caveat which must be considered in this regard;namely, that additional receivers may be required to implement the frequency
modulation system for extended targets.
2. 5 Summary
The pulse pair technology offers new potential for Doppler weather radar
systems. It permits the economic implementation of a real time signal processor
which can produce prodigious data reduction, reducing the enormous amount
of data produced by such a radar to more manageable dimensions. It does sowithout a sacrifice in sensitivity in cases of interest.
It makes it possible to consider new radar modulation techniques per-mitting the radar to collect the data more efficiently. Thus a frequency and pulse
pair spacing agile radar,which has merit in both increasing the data rate
(number of pulse pairs available) and suppressing some of the range-Doppler
ambiguities,can be processed without penalty in a pulse pair analyzer.
The pulse pair technique produces estimates which have predictable
accuracy and are free of arbitrary parameter selection (such as the threshold
level in the spectrum analyzer technique). In a digital processor, the block
length of the analysis interval may be varied on command so that the processor
can easily be properly matched to the radar operating conditions (p. r. f. and
scan rate).
If data rates were not a consideration, it is clear from the structure of theprocessor, that it could be implemented as a sliding window processor, so that
running averages of the most recent Ni pulse pair data could be used to obtain
continuously updated mean and variance estimates.
In short, it appears that the pulse pair processing technique offers anefficient means of automating pulse Doppler weather radar processing with a
t technique which is accurate, sensitive and flexible. The equipment used inEl conjunction with clutter cancelling techniques should permit operation in a
significant background of ground clutter.
Its ability to signal the presence of unusual spectral shape is perhapsits ultimate limitation.

3.0 EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION
This section describes several efforts to date to experimentally verify
the theoretically predicted accuracy capaoilities of the pulse pair estimators
of spectral mean and spread and to compare their performance with other
methods of estimation using identical input data. The initial experiment, which
was conducted on the previous contract, compared the results of pulse pair and
conventional spectral analysis processing of real Porcupine Radar weather
return . The limitations encountered with this approach to evaluation moti-
vated the more extensive and precise experimental evaluations accomplished on
the present contract using simulated radar return. Although all of the experi-
ments to date have involved non-real time pulse pair processing of the tape Irecorded radar output data, real time processing is both feasible and advan-
tageous; a proposed real time hardware processor is described in Section 4.
3. 1 Porcupine Radar Weather Return
A sequence of 10240 consecutive raw complex video samples (both in-phase
and quadrature) were tape recorded from the output of the Porcupine weather
radar during a light rain. The PRF was 3300 pps, the antenna elevation angle wasI 40* , and the data was obtained from the range cell with the maximurn S/N.
The analog data was then quantized for subsequent processing on a digital com-
puter by the "pulse pair" method, with conventional spectral analysis as a~control. The latter was required since the true spectral parameters of the
radar doppler return from the rain were unknown.
3. 1. 1 Estimates of Mean and Spread by Conventional Spectral Analysis
The recorded data was processed by conventional spectral analysis in
three different block lengths: one block of 8192 complex samples; two blocks
of 4096 samples; and ten blocks of 1024 samples. A typical plot of the amplitude
of the spectral components of one of the ten blocks of 1024 samples (representing
approximately 1 second of weather data) as analyzed by a digital computer pro-
gramrnmed to execute a Fast Fourier Transform is shown in Figure 8, "Typical
Dat; Spectrum for a Sequence of 1024 Samples. " The raS. -e9 appearance of the
spectrum is due partly to noise and partly to the distributeA nature of the weather
target.

method is to select threshold level referenced to the noise level or to the
peak of the sp, trum, and to use only those spectral components whose ampli-
tudes exceed the threshold in the computation of spectral mean and width as a
special set, which falls within the general class of spectral analysis estimators.Such a preliminary computational step, prior to the above calculation of themean and width, has been introduced into the spectral analysis estimator com-
puter program.
Rather than restrict the results of the spectral analysis estimates to aA A
single, possibly poor choice of threshold, the estimates for fo and w were
computed for each block of data over a range of assumed noise thresholds from
20 dB to 30 dB below the spectral peak, and are shown in Tables I and 2 respec-A
tively. It will be noted that the estimates of fo vary with threshold level within0I
each block over a range of from 5. 5% to 12. 9% of the nominal value, depending
upon the specific block.
The spectral analysis estimatee of W are even more sensitive to the
value of threshold. They vary with threshold level within each block over amuch larger range of from 51% to 68/6 depending upon the specific block. The -
potential problem of using such measurements as a standard of comparison for
evaluating the performance of the pulse pair estimator is noted here in passing,
and will be discussed further later on.
3. 1. 2 Estimates of Mean and Spread by Pulse Pair Processing
The identical Porcupine radar data processed by spectral analysis were
also processed by the pulse pair technique. The ten blocks of digitized se-
quences of 1024 samples were inputted to a computer programmed to imple-
ment the pulse pair estimators of equations (2. 9) and (2. 10). These results
are also shown in Table 1 and 2 respectively. The estimate of W includes a
correction for noise, the level of which was deduced from the experimental
data by assuming that the peaked portion of the spectrum was composed of
signal plus noise, while the flat skirts were noise alone.
3. 3. 3 Comparison of the Estimators
Numerical comparisons of the pulse pair and spectral analysis estimatesA
of f0 and % obtained from the Porcupine weather return data may be made from
the results in Tables I and 2.

AThese tables show the values of f and 40 as estimated block by block
0 0by pulse pairs and for each threshold level for the spectral analysis method.
The blocks of 1024 samples have been numbered sequentially to identify the
data from which the estimates were derived. The different estimates for a
given block of data appear on a horizontal line alongside that block.
As was noted above, the spectral analysis estimate of f varies with the0
threshold, T. It agrees beat with the pulse pair estimate of ? when T = 20 dB,
for which case the agreement is within better than 1% when the block length,A
N, is 4096 or greater. Since the spectral analysis estimates of fog which were
used as the control, do not vary too widely, it was generally concluded that
pulse pair estimate of f 0 was definitely satisfactory under the conditions
for which the data was taken.
On the other hand, the spectral analysis estimates of doppler spread,W, are quite sensitive to the value of T. Varying as they do over a range of
about 60%, they do not provide a satisfactory standard of comparison for
evaluating the performance of the pulse pair estimates of w. Without a know-
ledge of the true doppler spread of the weather radar return, it was impossible
to draw any conclusions as to the effectiveness of the pulse pair method for
estimating %0 with this particular data.
It appeared clear from the above results, that real radar weather
return of opportunity did not provide a promising source of data from which
the behavior of the pulse pair estimators could be quantitatively explored.
Not only is there no assurance of obtaining data with the range of spectral
and S/N parameters required for a valid exploration, but the accuracy with
which the true values of the parameters embedded in the data (which are
nended as a basis for comparison) can be established is in itself a function
& of the parameters. Since we cannot reasonably evaluate one unknown against
another unknown, the alternate approach of using simulated radar return with
prescribed parameters was indicated.

3. 2 Simulated Radar Return
3.2. 1 Purpose, Capabilities and Advantages
In view of the limitations encountered in attempting to evaluate the pulse-
pair estimators by means of real Porcupine Radar weather return data, (see
3. 1 above) more extensive experirnentatl verification of their theoretically
predicted performance was undertaken on the present contract using simulated
radar weather return.
The use of simulation techniques to generate the input data for evaluating
the performance of the estimators provides many advantages which overcome the
principal limitations of the use of real radar data for evaluation purposes. Pri-
marily, it makes possible the generation of statistically significant numbers of
simulated complex radar samples with prescribed spectral distributions (mean
frequency and width)and S/N. This permits the generation of data tapes with
controllable parameters made to order and in sufficient quantities per case to
suit the evaluation needs. Since the true parameters are known in advance, a
direct and precise determination of estimator performance accuracy can be made
at all times. The ensemble of precise results can then be analyzed by the com-
puter to determine the statistical behavior of the estimators against the synthetic
distributed weather targets as a function of the controllable parameters, number
of samples entering into the estimate, etc., and the results compared with the
theory.
The particular cases chosen for the simulation tests were tailored to facilitate
comparison with the theoretical performance predictions derived in Section 2.
A PRF of 3300, the highest available for the Porcupine Radar was used for all
cases. A spectral mean of 300 Hz and width of 78 Hz were selected for the
initial cases. These values are equivalent to a weatheretarget velocity mean
and spread of approximately 8 meters per second and 2 meters per second
respectively, as observed with the Porcupine Radar. To vary the S/N para-
meter, two extreme values of S/N were chosen, including 0 dB and OOdB (no
noise present) and two cases closer to the poor S/N condition. To conveniently
vary the theoretically significant wT parameter, several multiples of the initial
mean and spread were selected to yield target velocity distributions with 16 meters
mean, 4 meters spread; and 24 meters mean, 6 meters spread. Each of these
cases was varied over the range of four S/N values established initially.

An overall block diagram of the software simulation system utilized for
investigating the pulse pair technique appears in Figure 9. The system
is capable of generating sequences of simulated radar doppler return signals
with controllable parameters; estimating the mean and width of the spectral dig-
tributions by both pulse pair and spectral analysis tecnniques; performing statis-
tical analyses of estimator accuracy; and plotting and/or printing out the results.
The simulation system is programmed in FORTRAN and was run on the
CDC 6600 Computer at AFCRL. To conveniently suit the capacity and capabilities
of the computer, the simulation sybtem was divided into separable steps, which
could be run at different times. To facilitate such division into steps, the Be-

the signal processors under investigation were recorded on magnetic tape for
later processing and reference. A library of such input data tapes was generated i
to provide desired numbers of statistically independent sequences of simulated
return, with desired combinations of spectral parameters and S/N. The signal
processing schemes, and modifications thereto, could thereby be statisticallyevaluated and compared on the basis of identical input data. Provision was also
made to visually verify the validity of the simulated data; designated sequences I
of returns from among those generated could be selected for spectral analysis
by conventional FFT and automatically plotted for visual check.
The forthcoming sub-sections deal in greater detail with the generation of4
the simulated doppler return; the comparative performance of the pulse pair
and spectrum analysis estimators against the simulated input data; and a com-
parison of pulse pair estimator performance as experimentally determined by
simulation with that predicted from theory. Excellent correlation between theory
and experiment are shown.
3. 2. 2 Generating Sequences of Simulated Doppler Radar Target Return
with Controllable Parameters
In the real Porcupine Radar case, a uniform PRF was used to generate
sequences of uniformly spaced coherent echoes reflected from distributed -
meteorological targets as observed in a fixed range gate. The uniformly spaced
echoes, in the form of digitized complex numbers derived from the phase detected
coherent video output,were then processed two at a time to yield the pulse pair
estimates of the target spectral parameters.
The object of the simulation program is to generate similar sequences of
uniformally spaced complex numbers equivalent to radar echoes reflected from a
distributed target with a given radial velocity distribution, as sampled at a given
uniform PRF and with a given output S/N. The problem is mathematically equiva-
t lent to that of numerically generating a sequence of sampled values of a stationary
Gaussian process having a specified correlation function or power spectrum. The
method employed is adapted from Levin(7)

B. Description of Computer Program
The program developed for generating the simulated doppler target return
on the AFCRL CDC 6600 is called DOPGEN. The flowchart for DOPGEN is shown
in Figure 11 , and the program statements coded in FORTRAN appear in
Appendix C 1.
Input to the program is in the form of data cards on which are specified:
(1) mean Doppler frequency;
(2) standard deviation of Doppler frequency;
(13) per-pulse signal-to-noise ratio;
(4) FFT plot control; and,
(5) number of blocks (N) of 1024 complex samples.
Upon reading the first data card, the program generates 1024 coriplex samples
which simulate Doppler return (a PRF of 3300 is used throughout). The
data block iE then written on magnetic tape along with twelve ancillary words
containing information about the data. This procedure continues until N inde-
pendent data blocks are written with the specified Doppler mean and standard
deviation.* A second data card can be used to change the mean and the width
of the Doppler spectrum or to change the S/N ratio. If no more data blocks
* Since each data b'ock occupies about 3. 5 ft. of magnetic tape, 685 data blocks willfit on a standard Z400 ft. long tape.

the tape and reads each block to verify the readability of the tape. In addition,
for those data blocks on which the FFT plot control parameter (one of the
ancillary words) is set to one, the program performs an FFT on the data and
plots the transformed data on a Calcomp Plotter (available at AFCRL). This
is used as a check to verify the validity of the simulated data - a sample plot
is shown in Figure 12.
A library of 390 separate sequences of 1024 complex samples was generated
by the DOPGEN simulation program and recorded on magnetic tape for use au input
data. Each sequence of 1024 samples constitutes a data block. Three pairs of I. mean doppler and doppler standard deviation were run, each at four conditions
of S/N; a PRF of 3300 pps., representative of the Porcupine Radar. was used in
all cases. Thirty independent data blocks with specific parameters as shown in
Table 3 were generated for each combination of parameters. A sample
spectral analysis plot for each of the twelve combinations is prevented in

3.2.3 Performance of Pulse Pair EstimatorsA. Computer Program
As shown in Figure 9 of the overall simulation system, the tape
recorded sequences of simulated doppler return are processed by the pulsepair algorithms to yield estimates of spectral mean and width as a iunction of
the number of pulse pairs entering into the estimate. The resulting estimatesare then compared with the known given spectral parameters of the input data
and the performance of the pulse pair estimators is statistically analyzed andsummarized to produce printouts of estimator accuracy versus number of pulse
pair samples for each simulated test condition.
The program for pulse pair processing and statistical evaluation is calledtPPSTAT. A flowchart of PPSTAT appears in Figure 13, and the coded
FORTRAN statements for this program may be found in Appendix C-2. As
shown in the flowchart, before reading the magnetic tape generated by DOPOEN,PPSTAT reads from a data card two data block numbers (the numbers are assignedby DOPGEN and are contained in the ancillary data associated with each block).Pulse Pair estimates are then made on consecutive data blocks starting with thefirst block rumber and continuing to the data block with the second block number.The estimates are made on samples of size 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024.
After operating on the variable sample sizes from each data block, the program
performs a statistical summary of all the Pulse Pair estimates to yield estimator A
accuracy versus sample size.
B. Results~The hundreds of pulse pair estimates of spectral mnean and width produced,
analyzed, and printed out by the simulation system are presented in a mrannerintended to facilitate comparison with theoretically predicted performance capa-bilities. The close correlation shown between theory and experiment in the
t Figures that follow confirms the validity of the theory under the practical condi-tions of noise background, correlation between pulse pairs, etc. Analytic predic-tions of pulse pair estimator performance for particular sets sf conditions can,
therefore, be made with confidence.
The following comparisons between pulse pair experimental data and theory
have been calculated and plotted from the results of the simulation tests. Za

3. 2.4 Performance of Spectral Analysis Estimator
A. Computer Program
In order to provide a standard against which to compare the performance of
the pulse pair estimators under varying conditions of signal to noise, the simulated
doppler return generated by DOPGEN was also analyzed by the conventional spectral
analysis method. As in the case of real Porcupine radar data (Section 3. 1. 1 above), 4
the spectral parameter estimates were obtained in two steps. First, a spectral
analysis is performed on an entire data block to yield its spectrum; then the mean I
and spectral width parameters are calculated from all spectral components above a
given threshold level, for a range of threshold levels. The resulting estimates are
printed out as functions of threshold level. This spectral analysis program is
designated SPEC. As shown in the flowchart, Figure 21 , the Spectral Analysis
program searches the tape generated by DOPGEN and reads the data block whose
number is specified on the input data card. The 1024 complex samples are then
weighted using 60 dB Dolph-Chebyshev weighting coefficients and input into the FFT
sub-routine. If desired, the FFT output will be plotted. Next, the mean and
standard deviation are calculated based on all FFT output points above a specified
threshold level. The threshold level is automatically incremented in steps of 2 dB
starting at 2 dB below the maximum FFT output point and continuing to 40 dB below
the maximum point. The mean and standard deviation values are printed on the
line printer as a function of threshold level. The above procedure is repeated for
each input data card until a blank card is encountered. SPEC coded in FORTRAN

B. Results
It was concluded in the discussion of results with Porcupine Radar input dataA
(Section 3. 1 above) that the spectral analysis estimator of fo was definitely sati-
* factory. Therefore, no further analysis and evaluation of the performance of this
estimator was done with the results of the simulation tests.
On the other hand, there was interest in how well the thresholded spectralA
analysis estimator of spectral width (w) would show up against the simulated input
data. Ip -

depicts the width estimates produced by a single block of samples fordifferent cormbirhationo of input data parameters, f0 . w and SIN , as a
function of threshold level. As was indicated earlier, no claim is made
that the thresholde6 estimator of Eq.(3-4) is optimum. It is, however,t straightforward and readily implementable by computer. To preclude
possible bias effects from aliasing, the spectral width was calculated aboutthe true mean, f . Despite these precautions, the width estimates again areo0
* shown to be very sensitive to the value of the threshold. Only in the cases
of very high S/N do the estimates asymptotically approach the true width.

3. 2. 5 Compariso of the Width Estimators
The accuracy achieved by the pulse pair width estimator in the simulation
tests is compared in Table 4 with the accuracy predicted from theory, and the
estimates yielded by the spectral analysis estimator. The results are shown
for all 12 cases of f0 , w and S/N. (It should be noted that the pulse pair data is
presented in the form of the standard deviation of the estimates from the trueI value, based on a statistical analysis of 20 estimates on as many independent
blocks of simulated data for each case shown; whereas the spectrum analysis
results are for a single block of samples for each case, as a function of threshold
level.)
"Table 4 and Figures 18-20 show that the pulse pair width estimates obtained
with the 1024 samples and S/N in excess of 5 dB per pulse produces width errors
of less than 3 dB for all cases tested. Translated into meteorological terms, for
the Porcupine radar, actual widths of . 2 rn/sec were estimated at . 3 m/sec
with the equivalent at a 1/3 sec look (at 3300 pulses/sec) at a signal-to-noise ratio
of 5 dB.

Thus the spectral peak output of the simulated signals exceeds the input signal-to-

This calculation shows that the spectrum analyzer output reduction to mean
and variance may be expected to perform extremely poorly when the threshold is
set at approyrnately D + S/N (in dB) below the peak output. These points corres-
pond approximately to the break points shown on Figures 22 to 24. Assuming that
the spectrum analyzer threshold had been set 5 dB above the noise background level
(high enough to assure that the noise peaks would not disturb the measurement).Figures 22 to 24 indicate that the measured widths would be as shown in Table 6.
It should again be noted that the data shown on Figures 22 - 24 represents
only a single spectral sample and that the thresholds shown are measured with
respect to the sample peak value. Table 6 attempts to incorporate this factor by
using the breakpoints of the measurement, as the threshold level. These are
at approximately the threshold shown in Table 6.
In summary, the spectrum analyzer measurements appear to consistently
underestimate the width parameter while the pulse pair technique overestimates
it. The simulation indicates that the accuracies available for basically the same
data conditions are roughly comparable for the cases tested. Figures 22 - 24
indicate a marked sensitivity to threshold settings which is not directly evident in
the pulse pair measurements. It is important to note that the pulse pair measure-
ment of width uses an estimate of the noise background level also and thus has a

techniques require a measurement of the noise alone background to obtain
useful final results. -
Ij The conclusion to be drawn from this comparison is that the pulse pairtechnique shows no evident lack of sensitivity as compared with the spectrum

4.0 HARDWARE REALIZATION
This section describes a real time digital processor design to reduce the
pulse pair technique to practice. A brief theoretical review of the signal processing
algorithms to be implemented, is followed by discussions and block diagrams of the 7
processor and its key comporients. Design goals for the proposed pulse pair pro-
cessor are defined, and its performance compared with CMF, Analog Spectrum
Analyzer, and Fast Fourier Transform processors. Finally, the design tradeoffs
to be considered during the design phase are discussed.
4. 1 General Description of the Pulse-Pair Processor
This processor operates on the output of a radar, and is capable of pro-
ducing real-time independent estimates of the spectral mean and width of a
Doppler radar signal for each range cell viewed by the radar.
The processor accepts the radar IF signal and system trigger as inputs
and computes the mean frequency (mean velocity)-and spectral width (velocity
distribution) in each of 256, 512, 768 or 1024 range cells, selectable by a front
panel switch. Each range cell has a width of 0. 5, 1 or 2 microseconds selectable
by a front panel switch. The processor produces both analog outputs for viewing
on real time displays, and digital outputs which may be remoted or recordedA
for future computer processing. An internal digital automatic gain control sys-
tem independently measures the signal amplitude and adjusts the gain of the
processor for each range cell processed to maintain a 90 dB dynamnic range.
Although the pulse pair technique will work with either coherent or non-
coherent radars, a coherent receiver output is necessary in order to provide
* complex samples of the target return to the processor. In addition, to achieve
independent spectral estimates from range cell to range cell, the receiver gain
must have a wide dynamic range and be range cell-to-cell controllable. Accord-
ingly, the receiver requirements must be included as part of the processor con-
.F siderations; how much of an existing radar receiver can be used as is and how
much must be modified or incorporated as part of the processor depends upon&
the characteristics of the particular radar whose output is to be processed. The
receiver for the Pulse Pair Processor described below is interfaced to match the
Porcupine Radar.4

4. 2 Technical Description of the Pulse Pair Processor
The PPP performs spectral mean and width estimations according to equa-
tions (4-1) and (4-3) respectively, which are equivalent to earlier equations (2-9)
and (2-10). They are rewritten here in more convenient form for the discussion
of hardware.
A PRF - (4-1)
f *(z~ 1 ~
A PRF 1- I 1W 1(4-2)IT /_z2 2
where the z's are complex samples of signal plu_ noise, and N is the receiver0
noise power in the absence of signal. z* denotes the complex conjugate of z.
Equation (4- 1) estimates mean frequency by determining the phase diffei ences
in pairs of complex samples (zk+1, zk), averaging these differences to find
the mean phase difference, and scaling this mean phase difference by the PRF
to form a mean frequency estimate. The phase differences averaged are
weighted according to sample amplitude so that phase differences from strong
returns count more than differences from weak returns. The results in Section
3 showed that as the number of samples processed increases, the accuracy of
fo improves asymptotically.A
Equation (4-2) estimates spectral width w in terms of signal coherence,
including a correction for noise, N O,,0
a= 1 Zk+ 1 k (4-3)
which may be measured. The parameter a is well-defined for all sampled
signals including those with multirodal spectra. It may be seen from equation
(4-3) that in the absence of noise a = 1 for sinusoidal signals, and that a does not
depend on mean signal frequency, which may exceed the complex sampling fre-
quency (PRF). As is usual in sampled data systems, the signal bandwidth must
not exceed the PRF.

Figure 25 shows the signal flow of the PPP algorithm applied to the
sampled Doppler signal from one range cell. A delay and multiplier are used
to form the products zk+l z*, which are then averaged. The sample energies
2 A A
i are also averaged, and function generators are used to compute f and w.I zkl 0
There are a number of alternate ways of deriving the noise correction term
(N ) required for the calculation of the width estimate. One such method is de-02
picted in Figure 25. A measurement of receiver noise (n ) (which may be made,0
for example, at the output of the receiver at a range in excess of that in which any
signal return may be expected) is corrected for the receiver gain applicable to the_2
particular range cell, and introduced as the noise correction (N ) in the width esti-0
mate (w). The correction factor is obtained by calibrating the receiver. The mean
power output (p), which is made up of averaged measurements of signals plus noise,
is delivered for use as the range cell's control signal to set the receiver AGC at
its range. !I
Detailed design of the noise correction scheme has been deferred pending
a hardware tradeoff study of alternate schemes, to be performed as part of a
future hardware fabrication effort. The description of the system design which
follows does not include the noise correction feature.
4. 3 System Design
The PPP system, shown in Figure 26, comprises a fast AGC IF amplifier,
a two-point correlator, three (or four) digital integrators, a timing generator and
several function generators. The PPP accepts 30 MHz IF input and producesA A
digital and analog fo, w, range and integrated video outputs. The major sub-
systems of the PPP are scribed below.4.3. 1 IF Amplifier Phase Detector
Achievement of the processor 90 dB dynamic range requires independent
gain control in each range cell processed, which implies that the AGC voltage
must be a time varying signal with a bandwidth comparable to the IF bandwidth.
Such a system requires an IF amplifier of unusual design and closely integrated
IF amplifier and AGC loop designs. For this reason, the IF amplifier and phase
detectors are included in the PPP.

An IF amplifier-phase detector, Figure 27, was recently designed for the -
PORCUPINE radar which is acceptable for the PPP with slight modifications, The
amplifier achieved approximately 60 dB ACC control range, with AGC applied totwo out of a total of three identical gain stages. ACC response time was less than
200 ns. By adding AGC to the third gain stage, this amplifier is expected to
achieve a 90 dB AGC control range without degradation of response time.
t4. 3. 2 Dipitize"
The digitizer accepts in-phase and quadrature bipolar video and produces Iidigitized estimates of these inputs. Eight bit quantization appears more than
Aadequate to compute f to the accuracy of the algorithm. A single A/D converter,
such as the ILC Data Devices VADC-B, may be switched to quantize both input iichannels. This is preferable to the use of two simultaneous A/D converters
because the single converter is less expensive and because problems of balancing
the input channels are simplified by the use of a single A/D.
The suggested A/D converter can take an analog sample every 150 ns and is
compatible with a range resolution of 500 ns. A 150 ns delay line must be used in
one input channel to compensate for the A/D sampling delay. This A/D includes
a sample and hold circuit, operates from standard +5V and * 15V power supplies
and is contained on a single 8. 8" x 4. 5" circuit card.
4.3. 3 Correlator
The correlator accepts complex video samples zk from the digitizer and
generates products of the form Zk+l zj where the sample Zk+l is delayed by one
range sweep time from the sample zk. This delay is accomplished using MOS
dynamic shift registers organized as 16 bits x 512 words. Recently available
1024 bit registers, such as the Intel 1404A, allow this delay to be fabricated
quite compactly.
The complex multiplier which forms the Zk+l z products will be similar
to the multiplier developed for a proprietary Raytheon FFT pulse compression
system. This multiplier, shown in Figure 28, employs programmed arrays and
adders to perform a 24 x 24 bit complex multiply and add every 0. 5 .is. Approxi-
mately 280 integrated circuits (DIP'S) are required, hence, the multiplier could
be fabricated on four 72-DIP Augat panels. The PPP requires only a 16 x 16 bit
complex multiplier; one rircuit card could probably be saved by redesigning the
FFT multiplier for the less demanding PPP requirement.

4.3. 4 Digital Integrators
A minimum of three digital integrators are required, two to compute theA Areal and imaginary parts of u and one to compute average power p. These three
integrators will be similar to an integrator recently designed for AFCRL, to
minimize design costs, but the number of sweeps integrated will only be variable
up to 1024 by factors of 2.
An integrated power measurement is required to operate the AGC. This
output may be derived either from the power channel (p) of the PPP or through a
separate integrator. The integrator which produces AGC output, whether separate
or power channel, must be of the exponential rather than square moving window
type. Theory shows that the gain and phase of the square window integrator,
Sgv(O) -" VI -. coo wT (4-4)
W- Tan-l cosowT - 1sin(T -T (4-5)
makes it unsuitable for use in stable feedback loops with loop gain greater than 1.A design study should determine the performance differences in PPP3 employing
only three exponential window integrators,and PPP's employing three square
window integrators to compute u and p and one exponential integrator for AGC.
4. 3. 5 Function Generators
Three function generators are required for the PPP: a squared magnitude
generator, a log generator and an output function generator. As shown in Figure 27,all function generators will consist of programmed arrays combined with registers,
gating circuits and adders appropriate to the function computed.
2 -ro -XProgrammed arrays will contain the fuictions x , In x, tan e , andS (I - e x ) 2 . Each programmed array will consist of two integrated circuits
such as the Monolithic Memories MM6300. The Mr,/'300 is organized as an 8-bit in,
4-bit out array which may be programmed to contain any desired bit pattern; twosuch circuits form an 8-bit in, 8-bit out digital function generator. Approximately
50 ns after an 8-bit input word is supplied to the two programmed arrays, an 8-bit
output word is available, allowing each pair of arrays to compute, and an output
register to store, up to 4 outputs during an 0.5 4s range cell.
These arrays may be ordered preprogrammed by the manufacturer or may be
programmed by the user. Some vendors (e.g., Motorola) sell programmers for
their arrays. Raytheon is currently constructing a programmer for the Monolithic
Memories array in connection with a high speed pulse compression FFT develop-
ment; this programmer is expected to be available for use in PPP fabrication.

'~ 4.4 Performance
The detailed performance of the PPP will depend upon a number of design
decisions, such as the AGC loop characteristics and the exact form of the function
generators; operational considerations such as the signal characteristics and the
number of pulses integrated; and the basic accuracy of the pulse pair algorithm.
Analysis of these factors should be made in a design study but is beyond the scope
of this hardware feasibility report.
By assuming a set of design goals for PPP hardware, subject to change in
the design study, a few general comparisons may be made between the PPP and
other related signal processing hardware. The design goals in Table7 are there-
fore assumed for the purposes of comparison.
4.4. 1 Comparison with the CMF
The Porcupine Coherent Memory Filter is a spectrum analyzer, and does
* not produce estimates of spectral mean and width directly. Modification cf the
CMF to accommodate different pulse repetition rates and pulse widths is expensive
and time consuming. By contrast, the PPP directly produces both spectral mean
and width estimates in digital form in real time and operates over a variety ofPRRs and pulse widths. Its quantitative estimates can also be recorded or
remoted for further proceseing, plotting or display.
Recently, the CMF has been used to generate displays from which an Qb-
server can estimate mean frequency. The PPP can generate such displays with
much finer time and frequency resolution by addition of a low cost voltage-to-delay
converter. In addition, the PPP meati and standard deviation outputs can be
directly displayed on a PPI scope to provide Plan Mean Indicator or Plan Width
Indicator displays. These displays could be contoured if desired by using existing
contour generator equipment (such as digital integrators).

4.4. 2 Comparison with Analog Spectrum Analyzers
Presently available analog spectrum analyzers such as the Federal Scientific
."Ubiquitous" may, like the CMF, be used to generate a display from which an
observer can estimate spectral means and widths indirectly. Unlike the CMF and
PPP, however, such analyzers are not presently capable of processing the entire
output of a weather radar in real time, and cannot generate any real-time displays.

4.5 Conclusions
* A hardware PPP capable of computing spectral mean and width for each of
1024 1/2 -4s radar range gates appears completely feasible at this time. The
processor can be fabricated primarily from available, designed components and
is expected to occupy no more than 24" of 19" rack space. No other signal pro-
cessing device now available can approach the dynamic range and data throughput
capabilities of the PPP, except possibly the FFT, which would cost approximately
10 times more than a PPP of comparable resolution.
FTable 7 gives a summary of the design goals for the proposed signal pro-
cessor.
In the design phase of the PPP, detailed design tradeoffs of the following
items must be accomplished.
1. The dynarlic AGC loop
2. The digital function generation
3. The radar calibration system

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The preceding sections of this report show analytically and verify by data
from controlled simulation experiments that the pulse pair technique produces
estimates of spectral mean and width that have predictable accuracy over a wide
range of non-ideal operating conditions. Performance for unimodal spectra is
insensitive to spectral shape and the degree of correlation between successive
pulse pairs; the theory stands up under ccnditions of poor signal-to-noise ratio.
From a processor standpoint, it is shown that a flexible digital pulse pair
processor capable of handling a large number of range cells simultaneously is
feasible and that it could be arranged to easily match a variety of radars and
radar operating conditions, including PRFs, pulse widths and data rates. A
theoretical basis for optimizing the waveform parameters of a radar for pulse
pair processing is also presented.
A hardware implementation of a flexible digital pulse pair processor suitable
for exploring the utility of the technique in real time processing of weather radar
data is proposed. The design goals are defined, and its performance is compared
with other contemporary signal processors.
The experimental work together with the simulation studies demonstrate
that the pulse pair technique can yield good quality estimates of mean and variance
%s1itv raar data at signal-to-noise ratios obtainable with existent Doppler weather
raaars. !-_..ware tradeoff studies as well as the comparative performance
cbwaracteristics demonstrate that the pulse pair technique is not only feasible but
B ett-d on these conclusions, the construction of a flexible experimental
ra ol such t real-time pulse pair processor is recommended for the purpose
of cullectii.g a large data base on observable conditions. Experience gained while
&_.',ductinR reiearch with the experimental model will provide the basis for defining
te spvcifications for simpler models intended for operational use. A study should
aiso be mad,: to determine the best means to display, plot, and/cr record the re-
sultinri. data 'or further analysis, reduction and evaluation.

The fabrication phase for the experimental model should be preceded by a
design evaluation phase, during which the final parameters for the equipment can
be established from the results of tradeoff studies.
It is further recommended that some additional analysis be performed to
provide theoretical guidelines for comparing pulse pair anilysis to spectra data
: processors. In particular, although the theory of pulse pair estimation has now
been established, no theoretical foundation exists at present for predicting the
performance of width estimates derived from spectral analyzer data; such a
theoretical foundation should be developed. Analyses are also required to
properly relate and interface the pulse pair processor with particular radars,
ancillary devices, and operational usages as a research tool.

APPENDIX A
ANALYSIS OF ACCURACY OF SPECTRAL PARAMETER ESTIMATESBY PULSE PAIR ESTIMATION

ABSTRACT
This appendix gives a mathematical analysis of the performance of a
pulse pair estimator of spectral mean and variance. It aasumes that 4
complex data (I & Q) is collected at a uniform rate from a distributed
target whose underlying spectral density function is G(f) and that G(f) 21JA
is observed only after it is mixed with white additive noise.

3. Width Estimator
We have shown that the spectral width estimate is given by
w - [ - LN_ :_ B (48)(Z -rr T) z LJ
If the estimate is useful, it must have small errors and hence
2W + 2w (6w)= B T + 7B

The factor 2 is due to the power from both the real and imaginary channels.
The contour of integration is the unit circle. The Z-transform is used
because a digital signal is the desired output from the simulator; therefore,
signal power should be found in terms of the Z-transform. To continue,
