Abstract(in English) Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) is a kind of atmospheric radars to measure a temperature profile. Acoustic wavefronts generated by speekers propagate at the speed of sound, and this speed, proportional to square root of temperature, is measured by a Doppler radar. Since the speed of sound is much higher' than usual wind velocities, a conventional system often uses COHO with frequency offset, and reduces apparent Doppler frequency of the sonic wavefront echo. However,performance is often degraded because a sonic wavefront echo is overlapped by ground clutter echoes and atmospheric turbulece echoes with Doppler ambiguities. In this paper, we propose a method to solve this aliasing problem with minimum increase of computation load. This method rejects aliasing echoes by a lowpass filter, downconverts frequencies of received data in time domain, and computes Doppler velocity by Fourier transform with small number of FFT points. The algorithm is verified by computer simulation.
