Creeping Wave Propagation On Cylindrical Radiating Structures
(2019-08-01)
Weather radar is a powerful tool for detecting hazardous weather that may impact
the lives of many. Most weather radars used by meteorologists today rely on a
mechanical sweep to obtain volumetric data. This mechanical ...
A fuzzy logic algorithm for classifying bird and insect radar echoes at S-band
(2018-08-02)
A fuzzy logic algorithm for the separation of bird echoes from insect echoes using Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and considering range effects has been developed. The radar used in this study is the S-band (10 cm wavelength) ...
A Study Of The Electrical, Microphysical, And Kinematic Properties Of The 29 May 2012 Kingfisher Supercell
(2014)
A supercell thunderstorm formed as part of a cluster of severe storms near Kingfisher, OK on 29 May 2012 during the Deep Convective Clouds & Chemistry (DC3) experiment. This storm produced 5” hail, an EF-1 tornado, and ...
Multi-Radar Analysis of the 20 May 2013 Moore, Oklahoma Supercell through Tornadogenesis and Intensification
(2019-12-13)
On 20 May 2013, a violent, long-track EF-5 tornado impacted Moore, Oklahoma and surrounding areas, occurring within a network of radars operating in close proximity to the supercell. This network of radars consisted of ...
Doppler Radar Analyses of Tornadic Supercells on 19 May 2013
(2016-05-13)
On 19 May 2013, two supercells moved through central Oklahoma and produced seven tornadoes, including one of EF-3 and one of EF-4 intensity. High temporal and spatial resolution observations were collected in both strong ...
UAV-Based In Situ Antenna Characterization: Analysis and Design Requirements
(2018-05-11)
This thesis proposes to characterize antennas in situ with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), especially within the framework of weather radar and 5th generation wireless systems (5G) antennas. Specifically, it is concerned ...
LOW-COST, SOFTWARE DEFINED FMCW RADAR FOR OBSERVATIONS OF DRONES
(2017-05-12)
This thesis focuses on implementing a small, low-cost, Frequency-Modulated-Continuous-Wave (FMCW) radar sensor using Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platforms. Extensive investigation and comparisons of existing SDRs are ...
Simulation and Adaptive Aperture Allocation for All-Digital Phased-Array Radar
(2019-08-01)
Increased flexibility afforded by all-digital radar architectures and operational concepts such as MIMO radar can be leveraged with new waveforms and aperture allocation methods to improve radar performance in diverse ...
An Evaluation of Radar- and Satellite-Data Based Products to Discriminate Between Tornadic and Non-Tornadic Storms
(2017-12)
Severe weather, and specifically tornadoes, can pose a significant threat to property and human life. Tornadic storms have been extensively studied using radar observations for decades, and some more recent studies have ...
