    摘要: A stabilizing method of a synthetic aperture radar and a position determining method by the radar. At least three repeaters are arranged in mutually different positions on the ground or the sea and a radio frequency signal having a predetermined frequency is transmitted from the radar mounted on a radar platform such as an aircraft to the repeaters. Each repeater frequency-modulates and amplifies the received signal to return the signal to the radar. The radar receives the signal returned from each repeater. The radar calculates a distance between the radar platform and each repeater on the basis of a time required for the transmitting and the receiving and phase information of the received signal. When the position of each repeater is known, by using the positions of the repeaters and the calculated distances, the position of the radar platform can be calculated. On the basis of the obtained position of the radar platform, a reference signal for phase compensation is generated. The radar eliminates a phase variation of a reflected wave received from an object to be acquired by multiplying the reflected wave by the reference signal for phase compensation.

    摘要: A synthetic aperture radar system is mounted in a moving platform. The synthetic aperture radar system includes a multi-beam antenna having a plurality of reception beams different in direction from one another, the multi-beam antenna being adapted to receive radar echoes from objects. The width of each of the reception beams is selected such that the band width of a Doppler shift contained in the radar echo of a moving object is broader than that of a Doppler shift contained in the radar echo of a stationary object. The radar echo is pulse compressed to improve the range resolution before the frequency thereof is shifted such that the center frequency of the Doppler shift due to the velocity of the moving platform becomes zero. After the frequency shifting, the radar echo is filtered to separate the radar echoes of the moving and stationary objects from each other. The radar echoes of the moving and stationary objects are respectively subjected to Fourier transform with respect to the distance between the moving platform and the objects. The spectrum of the radar echo from the moving object is further shifted such that the center frequency of the Doppler shift due to the velocity of the object becomes zero. These reception, pulse compression, frequency shift and Fourier transform are executed for each reception beam. The spectrums in the radar echoes of the moving and stationary objects are respectively synthesized for all the reception beams. After the synthesization, the spectrums are respectively multiplied by a reference spectrum in the complex manner. The results of the multiplication are respectively inverse transformed from the spectrums.

    摘要: A radar signal processor for use in a pulse radar system. Reception signals are given from a range divide and output circuit to a plurality of integration point variable coherent integrators, each of which is allocated to a different range domain. The range domain is given to an integration point setting section provided corresponding to each integration point variable coherent integrator. The integration point setting section determines the number of coherent integration points based on the given range domain and sets it in the corresponding integration point variable coherent integrator. The signal resulting from coherent integration by the integration point variable coherent integrator is discriminated to frequencies, then supplied to any square detector for square detection for each frequency component. Square detection output is fed into a CFAR detector, which then makes its false alarm rate constant for a supply to a display, etc.
