Abstract: The Indian MST Radar (Mesosphere – Stratosphere –Troposphere Radar)-at National Atmospheric Research Laboratory, Gadanki-is a high power VHF phased array radar operating at 53MHz in coherent backscatter mode with peak power aperture product of 3x1010 Wm2.The MST radar is a pulsed Doppler radar to support the atmospheric research in the MST regions. The algorithm deals in extracting information like Power, Doppler, Doppler width, SNR (signal–to–noise ratio), Noise, oments, wind velocity & wind direction from MST radar data using signal processing techniques. This algorithm is developed using Visual Studio 2015 with C# and is tested on the MST radar data. The results were plotted graphically.
