Abstract

First results derived from an NSSL effort to develop a real-time Plan Position Indicator (PPI) display of Doppler isotachs are described. The mean Doppler velocity is estimated for multiple range locations by measuring the phase change of the complex echo envelope over time intervals equal to the pulse repetition period. This technique, phase change per pulse pair, provides velocity estimates directly from samples of the Doppler time record to circumvent spectrum computation.
