Radartutorial (www.radartutorial.eu) 16 Radar Range Equation (Example given) One of the important uses of the radar range equation is in the determination of detection ra nge, or the maximum range at which a target has a high probability of being detected by the radar.

With signal processing technology, the target image can be obtained by separating position (x,y)and amplitude gi(x,y)from complex signal sir(t). Figure 1. Geometric sketch of dual-antenna InISAR imaging. |
The optimal linear estimate is deter - mined by requiring the adapted estimation error be orthogonal to the observed vec - tor, r. Steady-state conditions are assumed in this derivation, thus the condition for orthogonality is E{r e∗} = 0 (3.24) where E{} is the expectation, e is the estimation error, and * is the complex conjugate. The adaptively weighted estimate is obtained by weighting the received signal vector by the estimate of the adaptive weights: ˆ ˆ ' s w r = (3.25) With d defined as the desired signal (a main-beam target), the estimation error is obtained from the following equation. |
However, a frequency spec- trum measured at a point can contain no knowledge of wave direction; so a wavenumber spectrum W(K) is often defined in terms of the frequency spectrum S(f) by the relation W(K) = S(f(K))(df/dK) (13.2) with the relation between/and K given by Eq. (13.1). To account for the wind direction, W(K) is sometimes multiplied by an empirical function of K and direc- tion v relative to the (up)wind direction. |

The only degree of freedom remaining in the data-rate budget was the number of bits retained for each sample in the raw SAR datastream. Working back through the DSN constraint, it turned out that there were only two bits available for Magellan ’s raw SAR data. Yes—a 2-bit SAR! And again, the unique characteristics of an orbital SAR made this an acceptable solution for the Magellan design. |
Continuous waveforms (CW) also can be used by taking advantage of the doppler frequency shift to separate the received echo from the transmitted signal and the echoes from stationary clutter. Unmodulated CW waveforms do not measure range, but a range measurement can be made by applying either frequency- or phase-modulation. 1.2 THE SIMPLE FORM OF THE RADAR EQUATION The radar equation relates the range of a radar to the characteristics of the transmitter, receiver, antenna, target, and environment. |

3. If the best possible stability is required. Magnetrons are not stable enough to be suitable for very long pulses (e.g., 100 JJLS), and starting jitter limits their use at very short pulses (e.g., 0.1 JJLS), especially at high power and lower frequency bands. |
Although they may each be small, the sum total can result in a significant reduction in radar performance. It is importat~t to understand the origins of these losses, not only for better predictions of radar range, but also for the purpose of keeping them to a minimum by careful radar design.

Open-ocean measurements of capillary waves are especially difficult to perform.15 For a gravity wave, the frequency/and the wavenumber K are related by the dispersion relation f=(V2^(gK)l/2 (13.1) where g is the acceleration of gravity and K = 2WA, with A being the wavelength. Although each individual gravity wave obeys this relation, the waves at a point on the sea surface could come from any direction; so they are characterized by a two- dimensional propagation vector with orthogonal components Kx and Ky9 where the K to be used in Eq. (13.1) is the magnitude K = (Kx2 + K2)112. |

Although thenumber ofsets of video signals islarge, theuseofdirectional antennas eases ther-fproblem, and the continuous scan renders scanner synchronization relatively simple. Inthesecond example, one setofradar signals and one setofbeacon signals are relayed toground from along-range airborne radar set arranged topermit sector scanning. Incontrast totheformer case, the “picture” data are relatively simple, but the requirement oflarge angular coverage forces the use oflow-gain antennas and puts asevere requirement onthe r-fsystem. |

While these solutions constitute interesting academic exercises and can, with some study, reveal the nature of the scattering mechanisms that come into play, there are no known tactical targets that fit the solutions. Thus, exact solutions of . the wave equation are, at best, guidelines for gauging other (approximate) meth- ods of computing scattered fields. |

High azimuth sidelobes can be seen in Figure 8a, which can be suppressed with a Taylor window at the expense of resolution (Figure 8b). |

Not only is amplification at IF less costly and more stable than at microwave frequency, but the wider percentage bandwidth occupied by the desired echo simplifies the filtering operation. In addition, the superhetero- dyne receiver can vary the LO frequency to follow any desired tuning variation of the transmitter without disturbing the filtering at IF. These advantages have been sufficiently powerful that competitive forms of receivers have virtually dis- appeared; only the superheterodyne receiver will be discussed in any detail. |

the receiver sensitivity is not determined by thermal noise as at microwaves, but by quantum effects. The noise power per unit bandwidth at most laser frequencies is given by No= hf (14.3R) where h = Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10--'4 J · s, andf = rrequcncy. The ramiliar expression for thermal noise power at microwave frequencies (N0 = kT, where k = Boltzmann's constant and T = absolute temperature) does not apply when kT ~ hf lt is the coarseness of the laser signal itself. |

The interference due to power being reflected back to the transmitter, causing a change in tile impedance seen by the transmitter. This is usually important only at low altitudes. It can be reduced by ati attenuator introduced in the transmission line at low altitude or by a directional coupler or an isolator. |
The superheterodyne receiver utilizes one or more local oscillators and mixers to convert the signal to an intermediate fre - quency that is convenient for filtering and processing operations. The receiver can be tuned by changing the first LO frequency without disturbing the IF section of the receiver. Subsequent shifts in intermediate frequency are often accomplished within the receiver by additional LOs, generally of fixed frequency. |
However, it is not the isolation between transmitter and receiver ports that usually determines the amount of transmitter power at the receiver, but the impedance mismatch at the antenna which reflects transmitter power back into the receiver. The VSWR is a measure of the amount of power reflected by the antenna. For example, a VSWR of 1.5 means that about 4 percent of the transmitter power will be reflected by the antenna mismatch in the direction of the receiver, which corresponds to an isolation of only 14 dB. |
It can effectively avoid the decrease of ArcSAR imaging quality. This paper proceeds as follows. The ArcSAR geometric model and signal model that consider the terrain of the scenes is introduced in Section 2. |

One ofthe shortcomings ofmicrowave magnetrons istheir limited adaptability todifferent requirements. This circumstance has forced the design and production ofanextremely large number oftube types.

This means that asignal of,forexample, half the voltage ofalimited signal will, inprinciple, give only one-eighth asmuch light intensity. Inactual fact the difference isnot sogreat asthis, because ofthetendency ofthe screen tosaturate onstrong signals. |

The control block on the bottom of the figure determines whether additions or subtractions are performed at each stage, based on the algorithm described previously. If the ADD/SUB block in the Q channel performs an addition, the same block in the I channel will perform a subtraction, and vice-versa. The result of the ADD/SUB blocks is stored in a register (REG) on the next clock edge and passed to the next stage of processing. |

Echoes from nearby targets will also be attenuated; but becaitse of the inverse fourth-power variation of signal power with range, they will usl~ally he large enough to exceed the threshold and be detected.
