Since received signals are contaminated by noise, such techniques are developed to calculate reflectivity accurately. Signal processing on Doppler domain is one of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based method that is usually used to calculate reflectivity. Another FFT-based method that can be used to estimate reflectivity is using spectrum estimation to substitute FFT, so that the processing can be done in time domain. However, spectrum estimation requires more concern on signal modelling and filter coefficients estimation. This research compares and analyzes the performance of FFT-based spectrum estimation with Doppler domain processing. The spectrum estimation methods are based on autoregressive (AR) parametric estimation and adaptive filtering that has been well known in another application. Raw voltages on receiver are processed to estimate reflectivity. Simulation done for FMCW radar with center frequency 9.475 GHz (X-band) and typically bandwith of 5 MHz. The simulation results show that time domain signal processing using adaptive filter gives more satisfying result com pared to parametric estimation.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Center frequency,Domain processing,Doppler processing,FMCW,Parametric estimation,Precipitation events,Spectrum estimation,Time-domain signal[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]adaptive filter,Doppler processing,FMCW,Weather radar[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICWT.2016.7870841[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
