Capability of the NSSL's R&D weather surveillance radar

Doppler and Dual Polarization

Phase coding of transmitted pulses

Transmission of arbitrary non uniform pulse sequence including staggered PRT

Oversampling

Arbitrary scanning strategy (including RHI)

Recording of time series data

Notes:
Oversampling means that there are more than one samples per pulse width. Briefly currently there are about 1000 points in range (spaced 250 m apart) that we collect and process to generate an image. With oversampling by a factor of 5 there would be 5000 points in range spaced 50 m apart.
