Abstract
A system for synthesizing data received from a weather radar system includes a digital signal processor, a data synthesizer, a convolution filter, and data storage. The digital signal processor digitizes reflectivity data from a radar antenna. The data synthesizer generates an M×N matrix for a digitized reflectivity data point and populates each element in the M×N matrix with the value of the digitized reflectivity data point. The convolution filter calculates a filtered value for each element in the M×N matrix. The data storage stores the M×N matrix for display.

A system for synthesizing data received from a weather radar system, comprising:
- a. a digital signal processor configured to digitize reflectivity data from a radar antenna;
- b. said digital signal processor including a data synthesizer configured to generate an M×N matrix for a digitized reflectivity data point and further configured to populate each element in said M×N matrix with the value of said digitized reflectivity data point;
- c. said digital signal processor including a convolution filter configured to calculate a filtered value for each said element in said M×N matrix;
- and,
- d. data storage configured to store said M×N matrix for display.
