  Met Office: Einstein year — information sheet 3 — about radar
Further development of radar for weather applications is slow, but in the late 1960s the Met Office collaborates with the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment to use radar for measuring precipitation, and to generate imagery from the data.
A national weather radar network is planned, in co-operation with the water industry, with the first two installations located in the north-west of the UK and in the London area.
Radar works by sending out electromagnetic pulses and measuring how long they take to return from a target, often an aircraft or a ship.

  Royal Signals and Radar Establishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Signals and Radar Establishment was a scientific research establishment within the Ministry of Defence's Defence Procurement Agency of the United Kingdom, located primarily at Malvern in Worcestershire.
In April 1991 RSRE amalgamated with other defence research establishments to form the Defence Research Agency, which in April 1995 amalgamated with more organisations to form the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency.
The RSRE motto was Ubique Sentio (latin for I sense everywhere).

 Weibull radar clutter - The IET   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
Radar clutter is defined as the unwanted reflective waves from irrelevant targets.
As with signal detection methods in clutter, parametric constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detectors in Weibull clutter and non-parametric CFAR detectors are dealt with in Chapter 3.
This comprehensive work should prove invaluable, not only to radar engineers, but also to all who are in any way concerned with Weibull distribution.

There are several "Nominal Rolls" which purported to list the total membership of the Establishment on 5th August 1940, early 1942 and August 1942 after our move to Malvern.

Royal Signals and Radar Establishment (RSRE) DRA headquarters was created at the RAE site at Farnborough, but the major sites maintained a great deal of independence.
DARPA was established in 1958 in response to the Soviet launching of Sputnik, with the mission of keeping the US's military technology ahead of its enemies.
As military historians note, “None of the most important weapons transforming warfare in the 20th century — the airplane, tank, radar, jet engine, helicopter, electronic computer, not even the atomic bomb — owed its initial development to a doctrinal requirement or request of the military.”7 None of them.

 Met Office: The development of radar for meteorology
Nowadays, radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging) images are routinely shown to users of weather data and are even displayed on TV for viewers.
radar data are sent to the Met Office every 15 minutes where further processing takes place to produce a composite picture of the precipitation
rainfall radars show rain, hail and snow, but drizzle often cannot be detected because the drizzle droplets are usually too small to be 'seen'

He was born in Penzance, Cornwall, UK, and attended the Humphry Davy Grammar School prior to undertaking an engineering appren-ticeship at the Signals Research and Development Establishment, which was part of the Ministry of Supply.
On completion of his postgraduate training he undertook his first professional role at the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment at Malvern working on cryogenic engineering and novel heat exchanger design, particularly as applied to the cooling of solid state laser systems.
He left RSRE in 1985 to spend a year in industry setting up a new business within STC for the manufacture of digital gallium arsenide integrated circuits and components for fibre communication systems.

During 1956 to 1958, WH953 was involved in installations and trials of the AI Mk 20 radar until, in 1959, it was transferred ro RRE Pershore and modified to a "long nose" standard.
From 1963 to 1969, WH953, still with the RRE, was involved experimental trials with the FMI CW radar system, a conversion of the CW AI radar, then during the period 1969 to 1971 was used in the reasearch for the JP236 AEW system.
This was followed by a spell at Marconi during the development of the Tornado's AI radar until, in 1977 this B.6 ended up at the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment at Bedford.

In the small signal regime, it is shown that the signal beam undergoes spatial beam narrowing as it propagates through the amplifier owing to the exponential dependence of signal beam gain on pump beam intensity.
The relative change in spot size is found to depend on both the peak signal intensity gain and on the input signal to pump spot size ratio.
In the large signal (depleted pump) regime, it is found that the signal beam becomes broadened if the pump depletion is significant and the output spot size depends on the input signal beam intensity.

 Telecommunications Research Establishment
Progress was such that in December 1935 the Air Staff asked for the construction of five radar stations to provide air warning over the approaches to the Thames Estuary.
One of the main reasons for the move was that this was expected to be an area free from hostile activity, but the early months of the war saw many German aircraft over eastern Scotland, and this interfered with the research which was to be carried out at a nearby C.H. station.
It therefore briefly was known as the Ministry of Aircraft Production Research Establishment (M.A.P.R.E.) but this was too unwieldy a title and this was replaced in November 1940 with Telecommunications Research Establishment, or T.R.E. was to remain at Worth Matravers for two years.

 Signal Processing SVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
The SVD decorrelates the signals received from an array of sensors by applying a unitary matrix of complex scalars which modify the signals in phase and amplitude.
In the case of a broadband sensor array, the received signals cannot be described in terms of phase and amplitude so instantaneous decorrelation using a unitary matrix is no longer sufficient to separate them.
In the broadband case, it is necessary to decorrelate the signals over a suitable range of relative time delays.
