2 Presentation Outline: Introduction: Standard Marine Radar vs. Single Image of Waves: ~Tilt Modulation (SMR) vs. Orbital Wave Velocity (CMR) Summed Images of Waves: Enhanced Roughness (SMR) vs. Mean Current (CMR) 3D-FFT analysis: MTF scales Radar/Wave Spectra (SMR) vs. Direct measure (CMR) Analysis approach: image spectra to wave spectra, Standard Products Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) multi-parameter variable (Wind/Wave Dir) Wind speed/direction effects may affect MTF CMR is only affected by Wind dependence when lack of winds smooths surface Coherent marine radar approach:similar analyses (3D-FFT, Sums) Image sums of velocity field can provide radial current maps at 3-m resolution 3D-FFT analysis provides a direct measure of orbital wave speed, DWS Comparison of COR COH, shows issues with magnetron frequency drift Affects accuracy of 3D-FFT analysis, requires filtering

3 Introduction to the Standard Marine Radar Transmit phase random pulse-to-pulse Sum Several, N Gain ~N Signal is Video (I 2 + Q 2 ) Log-Magnitude Amplitude recorded Radar Wave Images due ~ long-wave slope Video to Wv=Ht scale is empirical - MTF Transmit phase is fixed pulse-to-pulse Sum Several, N Gain ~N 2 Signal is I and Q Phase is Φ = ARCTAN(I/Q) δφ = Φ j+1 Φ j ~ Radial Comp. Orb. Vel. Orb-Wave Vel to Wv-Ht Spectra is direct

4 Prototype Layout: Koden / Si-Tex Radar Pedestal maintained Above Plane SMA-Con components Project to combine all elements Single Package Below Solid State Amp, 5 W Cooling system on Prototype 10-min On / 20 Min off ops

5 New Sub-assembly board: Previous components (Top & Bottom Plate)=> on a single board, ~ 4 x 7 HPA on bottom now part of Transceiver Sub-assembly 5 watts output Serves as Pre-amp for larger power amplifier for future (10-25 watts?) New design with bias currents turned on during pulse only reduces heating

6 Pulse Compression Example: Reference Function used as Raw Data MHz FM Chirp In-Phase/Quadrature P-C Output, Sine-Cosine, Point target equivalent For 30-MHz chirp, get 33-ns pulse echo (vs. 80-ns for marine radar) Wider bandwidth/shorter pulse is possible, if RF filter widened (worse SNR?) Smaller area/weaker-echo + noise Increase due to wider bandwidth

7 Coherent Radar Magnitude / Radial Velocity Polar Display Range-Az Echo Intensity Bright is strong echo area Wave crests give strongest echo Shallow Wave Breaking strongest Deep waves breaking less active Range-Az Radial Velocity Dark - Receding crest Orb-Wave-Vel Bright - Approach crest Orb-W-Vel Wave-Ht ~ Orb-Wave-Vel Shallow crests faster -8 to +8 m/s for 2 KHz PRF View To shore View To shore View To sea View To sea

8 11-14 November 2009 Duck NC IDA Passage Left - Video Magnitude signal Right - Phase-difference or Doppler shift signal +180 deg Phase diff between δt=500 µs = + 16 m/s radial velocity Phase difference signal longer range coverage than video

10 Cartesian Transformed Radial Velocity Maps 11 Nov 11 - Cartesian Transformation of Radial Velocity Image Shoreline lies vertically Recede Doppler is darkest Approach Doppler is whitest Shoaling waves show higher Doppler shift than deep water Set 64x64 window for 3D-FFTs for directional wave spectra Use data directly for wave height maps in real-time forecasting apps Doppler sense lines up with wave direction - dominated by orbital wave motions

11 Standard Summary Product *12 of 32 Kx-Ky spectra, 1 of 512 PPI images, 512-sum Image, 26-day frequency spectrum History - All elements available as ASCII/Binary files for analysis

12 Recent COHrad Marine Radar results Nov 2009 Storm, Duck NC site - 2-pulse Doppler Image Windows

13 COH Marine Radar results Nov 2009 Storm, Duck NC test site Frequency Spectrum derived from Previous Figure Doppler 3D-FFT Spectral Peaks-512 rotations, 11.6-min ***** No MTF Scaling Required Direct Measure *****

14 Summary of Preliminary Wave-height Comparisons Good Agreement for m Hrms Fit parameters not yet calculated Worst Outliers due to 64 rotations (2.5 min) vs. 512/10min later Full week of data to be analyzed to determine error bars

15 COH -512 Summed Images - Mean Intensity (L), Doppler (R) Surface current is dominated by wind drift and Bragg scatterer velocity - Care must be taken in separating out Orbital wave velocity for current measure Wave Height is determined by modulation about the mean ** Blue dots on right are stationary buoy echoes - Mean Doppler is 0 Wind Direction

16 Mean Surface Current Comparisons at FRF Radar pixel chosen over AWAC acoustic Doppler sensor Two dates analyzed, compare well with in-situ Full set to be analyzed and error bars determined

17 COH - COR Comparisons of Intensity Imagery COH Xmit pulse is 33 ns compressed vs. COR 80 ns COH higher range resolution Will affect shortest waves in spectrum that can be imaged Some pulse-to-pulse COR dithering gives added broadening to COR images Otherwise amplitude results are similar

18 COH - COR Comparisons of Radial Velocity Imagery COR radial velocity striations due to frequency drift of magnetron Creates radial streaks that appear in Cartesian transformed images
