摘要:
In an airborne radar system of the type including a main high gain narrow beamwidth antenna and a guard low gain wide beamwidth antenna with main and guard receiver channels, a detection system based on separately thresholding the outputs of both channels and their ratio. Mainlobe target detection is assumed to occur only when either the output of the main channel exceeds a main threshold level and the output of the guard channel does not exceed a guard threshold level or when the outputs of the two channels exceed their respective thresholds and the ratio (or the difference) of the outputs from the two channels exceed a ratio threshold level. The main and guard threshold levels are generated as a function of the background noise levels in the two channels.
摘要:
In an acquisition radar system of the type in which the antenna scans in a multiple-bar raster scan pattern, signals of different sets of characteristics, e.g., different PRF''s, are transmitted on adjacent bars. The elevation bar spacing is chosen to be less than 0.5 X theta b where theta b is the antenna 3dB elevation beamwidth so that any target within the pattern is illuminated by the signals of the different PRF''s.
