1 Scope
This document provides guidelines for the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance
of a WPR. It describes the following:
— Measurement principle (Clause 5). Scatterers that produce echoes and methods of wind velocity measurement are described.
The description of the measurement principle mainly aims at providing the information
necessary for describing the guidelines in Clauses 6 to 11.
— Guidelines for WPR system (Clause 6). Frequency, hardware, software, and signal processing are described. They are mainly
applied in designing and manufacturing the hardware and software of WPR.
— Guidelines for system performance (Clause 7). Measurement resolution, range sampling, radar sensitivity evaluation, and measurement
accuracy are described. They can be used for estimating the measurement performance
of a WPR’s system design and operation.
— Guidelines for quality control (QC) in digital signal processing (Clause 8).
— Guidelines for measurement products and data format (Clause 9). Measurement products obtained by a WPR and their data levels are defined. Guidelines
for data file formats are also described.
— Guidelines for installat...
