    摘要: The pulsed Doppler weather radar system reduces ambiguities in measured parameters by staggering at least one pulse of each frame of n pulses transmitted by the radar system. The staggered pulse creates an isolated pulse doublet pair to provide three or more independent and auxiliary Doppler parameter estimates. The parameter estimates are combined optimally in a neuromorphic processor matched to the phenomena of interest, particularly capitalizing on multiparameter volumetric correlations to improve data quality.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system that cancels second time around clutter in a multiple pulse repetition frequency radar system which uses three groups of differently spaced pulses. The system processes returns from a clutter cancellation group of eight pulses from three different concatenated pulse repetition frequency groups, using two pulses from one group, all pulses from a central group and two pulses from a third group. The pulse returns are each multiplied by a different weight and the eight weighted returns are added together and output as the filtered return signal. As the weights of the outer pairs of pulses increase, as compared to the weights of the inner four pulses, the second time around clutter cancellation effects increase and the first time around clutter cancellation effects decrease.

    摘要: An MTI radar system having a four pulse canceller where the interpulse periods vary preferably according to a double or triple sawtooth pattern is disclosed. The four pulse canceller is comprised of a two pulse canceller cascaded with a three pulse canceller. The three pulse canceller is arranged to accomplish summations of three weighted pulses in two operations, one involving fixed binomial weights (1, -2, 1) and the other variable components (a', b', c'). The interpulse period choices and sequence of use permit the variable weights to be defined by polarity and binary fractions implemented by the use of controllable scalers and polarity reversers.

    摘要: In a medium PRF pulse doppler type radar receiver, target detection is achieved in both search and track modes. In the search mode, the video signal from the receiver section is notch filtered to cancel the main beam clutter. The remainder of the signal is threshold detected, followed by ranging each of the thresholded signals to resolve the range ambiguity of the signals. The unambiguous signals are gated through a range sensitive threshold which operates along a power curve of R.sup.4, resulting in true target returns being thresholded by the range sensitive threshold circuit and blocking out discrete sidelobe returns. In the track mode, the video signal from the receiver is clutter cancelled to remove main beam clutter, as in the search mode, and the remaining signals pass through a velocity track filter with a narrow band window. The true target return signal ranged during the search mode, is passed by the velocity track filter which is adjusted to match the true target return doppler shift during the correct range gate. The velocity track filter is controlled to track the true target return signal and is narrow enough to reject discrete sidelobe signals which occur in the same range cell. The signals passed by the velocity track filter are subsequently monitored, and guard gates are established in both adjoining range cells to insure that lock on the tracked target will not be lost due to interfering signals such as returns from moving ground targets. When the interfering signals are detected in the guard gates, the system goes on memory until the interfering signal passes.

    摘要: An airborne radar system is disclosed utilizing multiple fixed antenna arrays mounted within the periphery of the aircraft to avoid aerodynamic modifications and optimumly placed to achieve 360* surveillance coverage. The arrays preferably include a fore mounted array, an aft mounted array, a port mounted array and a starboard mounted array for respectively firing beams in different azimuth sectors relative to the aircraft. Each array is comprised of dipole elements having phase shifters coupled thereto for steering a beam within the corresponding sector. The primary radar antennas time share an exciter, transmitter, receiver and signal processor through switching devices. Time allocation between antennas and between operational modes such as ''''search'''' or ''''track'''' is based on various factors such as mission objectives, current target characteristics and radar purpose. Time allocation is preferably determined by an ''''on line'''' stored program digital computer which generates a radar control command to define the parameters for each beam to be fired. This procedure involves calculating the priority value of each track and search beam to be fired in accordance with predetermined criteria contained in the stored program. The priority value of each track beam to be fired involves determining the update rate for that target which is calculated based on the characteristics of the target. Priority values are then determined based on a comparison between the elapsed time since the last update and the calculated update rate.
