Figure 49 Dual PRF Concepts
This technique is illustrated in the previous figure. The figure shows how the low-PRF and
high-PRF angles are unfolded based on the difference angle. The diagrams show phase
planes representing the large unfolded velocity interval, and the locations of vectors on
those planes. Referring first to the right figure, the difference angle is plotted, and the plane
is divided into two equal size regions, one of which is centered on the difference vector. The
high-PRF angle is then divided by two and plotted. The resultant unfolded velocity angle
must either be this vector, or this vector plus . Since adding places the vector into
acceptance Region 1
where it is nearest the difference angle, we conclude that this is the correct unfolding.
Likewise, on the left diagram we unfold the low-PRF angle by dividing the plane into thirds
centered on the difference angle. The result angle is either

depending on which one falls into the acceptance

. The resultant angle is the
same in each case.
RVP900 makes efficient use of the incoming data by unfolding velocities from both the low
and the high-PRF data, making use each time of information in the previous ray. When low-
PRF data are taken the derived velocities are unfolded by combining information from the
previous high-PRF interval. Likewise, when high-PRF data are acquired the velocities are
unfolded based on the previous low-PRF interval. Thus, when operating in the Dual PRF
mode, RVP900 outputs one data ray for each
(N+k)
-pulse interval. However, the velocity
data in the Dual PRF rays are unfolded, so that the [-1,+1] interval now represents either two
or three times the prior velocity range. Put another way, the data are still interpreted as
described in the section on mean velocity estimation, except that
V
u
is now larger.
Width Data
The width data are modified somewhat during Dual PRF unfolding.
