Figure-4 Power spectrum plots of a weak SNR region obtained through (a) multitaper (b) rectangular windowFigure-5 Doppler width pro<strong>file</strong> obtained through multitaper and rectangular window based method for (a) westbeam (b) Zenith-X beamConclusionWith the above analysis we conclude that multitaper analysis gives a better visibletrace and also the tracking of the Doppler echoes up to a height of 23km is achieved where asrectangular analysis could trace up 20 Km <strong>with</strong> less variance. An improvement of 1-4 dB inthe SNR is achieved <strong>with</strong> multi taper analysis leading to a better detectability. Theconsistency of the Doppler trace obtained through multi taper analysis is seen to be superiorto that of the rectangular analysis. Multitaper analysis is able to produce high-resolutionobservation points in time. Multitaper analysis generally shows higher Doppler width thanthat of <strong>single</strong> taper analysis. Since the signal boundaries are clearly defined in the case ofmultitaper estimation the Doppler width measured expected to be higher. So, the result showsthat multitaper analysis gives distinct advantage over conventional method of spectralanalysis.References:Hildebrand, P.H., and R.S.Sekhon, Objective determination of the noise level in Dopplerspectra, J.Appl.Meterol.,13, 808-811, 1974.Park Jeffrey, C.R.
