    Abstract
  • To mitigate Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) for polarimetric Doppler weather radars, this paper proposes to use spectral polarimetric filters. Polarimetric weather radars can be divided into two basic categories: Simultaneously Transmitting and Simultaneously Receiving (STSR) and Alternately Transmitting and Simultaneously Receiving (ATSR). First, the real RFI measurements from an operational C-band STSR weather radar help characterize the temporal, spectral and polarimetric features of RFI. Then, RFI is simulated in an X-band ATSR radar to quantify the performances of spectral polarimetric filters. Overall, spectral polarimetric filters can keep the precipitation and remove RFI in an ATSR radar. Finally, the data division method is put forward for STSR radars by mimicking the ATSR measurements. Good performance in RFI mitigation is also verified by using the same spectral polarimetric filters.
