Abstract
A novel approach for estimating the elevation-Doppler profiles for precipitation using phased array radars is presented. The proposed technique is parametric, where a semi-analytical model of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) as a function of the normalized Doppler velocities and the elevation profiles of the Doppler moments is used as a reference. The inverse problem of jointly estimating the Doppler moments at each elevation angle is addressed using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). The proposed technique is compared with the traditional non-parametric techniques using synthetic radar echoes and shown to be superior to these traditional techniques.
