Uncorrelated weighted median filtering for noise removal in SuperDARN

SuperDARN operating frequencies from 10MHz-15MHz are susceptible to clutter originating from unwanted altitude backscatter, man-made noise exhibiting a Gaussian distribution and correlated speckle noise from pulses emitted from other similar SuperDARN radars operating at the same frequency.

Description
Summary:SuperDARN operating frequencies from 10MHz-15MHz are susceptible to clutter originating from unwanted altitude backscatter, man-made noise exhibiting a Gaussian distribution and correlated speckle noise from pulses emitted from other similar SuperDARN radars operating at the same frequency. The paper focuses on removing man-made clutter and uncorrelated speckle noise noise by prior measurement of received noise signal. Based on noise information, an uncorrelated weighted median filter is proposed and used to remove unwanted clutter.
