Pulse-Doppler signal processing

Pulse-Doppler signal processing is a <a href="/facts/Radar/jk9BTbFA">radar</a> and <a href="/facts/Contrast-enhanced_ultrasound/h0alrAlQ">CEUS</a> performance enhancement strategy that allows small high-speed objects to be detected in close proximity to large slow moving objects. Detection improvements on the order of 1,000,000:1 are common. Small fast moving objects can be identified close to terrain, near the sea surface, and inside storms.
This signal processing strategy is used in <a href="/facts/Pulse-Doppler_radar/Ibbq5nJS">pulse-Doppler radar</a> and multi-mode radar, which can then be pointed into regions containing a large number of slow-moving reflectors without overwhelming computer software and operators. Other signal processing strategies, like <a href="/facts/Moving_target_indication/EUo8tCMd">moving target indication</a>, are more appropriate for benign clear blue sky environments.
It is also used to measure blood flow in <a href="/facts/Doppler_ultrasonography/SFn4tBkY">Doppler ultrasonography</a>.
