The basic reason for poor tracking at low angle results from the fact that the conventional tracking radar with a two-horn feed in elevation (or its equivalent for a conical-scan tracker) provides unambiguous information for only one target. At low elevation angles two" targets" are present. the real one and its. |

Also, the AGC of the sum channel normalizes the sum echo pulse am- plitude to similarly maintain a stable range-tracking servo loop. |
A collapsing loss also results if the outputs of two (or more) radar receivers are cornbilled and only one contains signal while the other contains noise. Tlie mathematical derivation of the collapsing loss, assuming a square-law detector, may be carried out as suggested by Marcumlo who has shown that the integration of nt noise pulses. along wit11 11 signal-plus-noise pulses with signal-to-noise ratio per pulse (SIN), , is equikalent to the integration of ~n + 11 signal-to-noise pulses each with signal-to-noise ratio t~(S/N),/(nr + 11). |

Their mathematical expressions can directly describe the rheological deformation, and are applicable to the simulation of the initial or stable rheological deformation of rock and soil material [ 29,30]. However, theoretical models for time-series displacement that consider rheological parameters have been rarely mentioned in previous InSAR deformation studies. Based on the background discussed above, we propose a time-series deformation model based on rheological theory. |

Bit inversion occurs at intervals of a quar- ter pulse width for the second doppler channel, an eighth pulse width for the third doppler channel, etc. Negative doppler frequency channels are handled in the same manner as for positive doppler frequency channels, but bits that were in- verted in the corresponding positive channel are not inverted in the negative channel, and bits that were not inverted in the positive channel are inverted in the negative channel. No bit inversion occurs in the zero doppler channel. |
In devising computation algorithms and computer hardware, advantage can be taken of the fact that the phase shill t/Jm" required at the 11111th element of a rectangular-spaced array can be separated by row and column since tJ,m" = mt/Jr+ 111/Jx, where 111, 11 are integers corresponding to the 111th row and 11th column, t/1 }" is the phase dilTerence needed between adjacent rows to steer the beam in elevation. and t/1 x is the phase difference between adjacent columns needed to steer in azimuth: This is sometimes called row/column steering. Baugh 121 describes a "non-time-critical" row/column beam-steering computer that represents a minimum equipment approach that takes from 10 lo 20 ms to generate the phase-shifter commands. |
In these systems, analog pulse compression is performed at an IF, followed by the ADC in the processing chain. Because pulse compression increases the SNR of the signal, performing it before sampling increases the dynamic range requirement of the ADC. In a digital pulse compression system, the ADC precedes the pulse compressor and only has to accommodate the precompression dynamic range of the signal, which can be a significantly lower requirement. |

This separation into spectral lines allows for discrimination of doppler shifts. Doppler radars using pulsed transmissions are more complex than CW radars, but they offer significant advantages. Most important is the time gating of the receiver. |

Different radar functions put a greater emphasis on one or the other of these parameters. For example, imaging radars put a premium on wide bandwidth, whereas pulse doppler radars require high dynamic range. Because radars are often required to operate in a variety of modes with differing bandwidth and dynamic range requirements, it is not uncommon to use different types of A/D converter, sampling at different rates for these different modes. |

We shall not be concerned about the problem of amplification, although it is an important aspect of receiver design. Instead, we shall be more interested in the effect of the detector on the desired signal and the noise. One form of detector is the envelope detector, which recognizes the presence of the signal on the basis of the amplitude of the carrier envelope. |

In general, the higher values of k occur in the southern part of the country. Burrows and Attwood5 state that k lies between ! and ! in arctic climates. The use of an effective earth's radius implies that dn/dh is constant with height, or in other words, that n decreases linearly with height. |
Thus allthat is.required isalimiting i-famplifier toremove theamplitude variations, followed byaphase-sensitive detector toconvert the phase variations into uniform amplitude variations. To obtain the maximum sensitivity yfortargets moving inthe clutter itis necessary that thephase-sensitive detector should have alinear character- istic—that is,the output amplitude variation should beproportional to the input phase variation. This can beachieved byusing abalanced detector formixing the reference signal with the output ofthe limiting i-famplifier. |

It is the purpose of this subsection to derive expressions for signal-to-noise (SIN) ratio for radars in which pulse compression and synthetic antenna techniques are used. The signal-to-noise ratio for a radar system as a result of the reception of a single pulse is given by the well-known radar equation S _ PtGtArv K ~ (4TT)2^J0BFn (2L51) In a pulse compression radar, signal-to-noise improvement occurs in the ratio of the uncompressed pulse length T, to compressed pulse length T0. In a radar that achieves its azimuth resolution by the generation of a synthetic antenna, there is an additional signal-to-noise improvement factor due to the in- tegration of a number of pulses. |
1.2 expressed the maximum radar range R,,, in terms of radar and target parameters: where P, = transmitted power, watts G = antenna gain A, = antenna emective aperture, m2 a = radar cross section, m2 Smin = minimum detectable signal, watts All the parameters are to some extent under the control of the radar designer, except for the target cross section a. The radar equation states that if long ranges are desired, the transmitted power must be large, the radiated energy must be concentrated into a narrow beam (high transmitting antenna gain), the received echo energy must be collected with a large antenna aperture (also synonymous with high gain), and the receiver must be sensitive to weak signals. In practice, however, the simple radar equation does not predict the range performance of actual radar equipments to a satisfactory degree of accuracy. |

This is the type of scattering alluded to in connection with the high graz - ing angle returns discussed in Section 15.3; the tendency of s 0 to level off for grazing angles close to 90° (see Figures 15.3 and 15.4) may be ascribed to this mechanism. From what has been said thus far, it can be seen that strict analytical solutions via the GBVP approach appear to run into dead ends: intractable formal expressions in the form of Eq. 15.12, small-amplitude approximations in the form of Eq. |

Against a slowly moving source of clutter (e.g., birds), the probability of detection may increase as the clutter source crosses the boundary between two clutter map cells.

If the radar utilizes more than one doppler filter, the effect of stalo instability should be calculated for each individually. If an individual filter's doppler re- sponse is unsymmetrical, residues from positive and negative doppler bands must be computed separately and added in power. It should be noted that many textbooks analyze only a simple two-pulse MTI, and the resulting equations for the limitation on MTI improvement factor cannot be employed for more sophisticated doppler filters. |

Then, the techniques are introduced according to their use in the vari - ous sections of radar, namely, antenna, transmitter, receiver, and signal processing. A key role is also played by those ECCM techniques that cannot be classified as electronic, such as human factors, methods of radar operation, and radar deployment tactics (Section 24.10). The ensuing Section 24.11 shows the application of the aforementioned techniques to the most common radar families, namely, surveillance, tracking, multifunctional, phased-array, imaging, and over-the-horizon radars. |

Trunk Naval Research Laboratory 8.1 INTRODUCTION Since the invention of radar, radar operators have detected and tracked targets by using visual inputs from a variety of displays. Although operators can perform these tasks very accurately, they are easily saturated and quickly become fa- tigued. Various studies have shown that operators can manually track only a few targets. |
The backscatter cross section of a particle in the Rayleigh region, as shown by Eq. (13.17) varies as the fourth power of the frequency. A radar operating at L hand (1.3 GHz), for example, might experience about 34 dB less precipitation cltlttct(han a radar at X band (9 GHz). |
Traveling Wave Tube . As mentioned, the TWT and the klystron can have compa - rable bandwidths when the tube produces high power. The performance of a TWT is similar to that of a wideband klystron, except that it might not be as stable as the klystron and have slightly less gain. |

Although lower peak- sidelobes can be obtained in this manner, the far-out sidelobes are generally considerably greater than if the same illumination function were used to establish an amplitude taper with an equally spaced array. The unequally spaced array has seen only limited application, primarily because its advantages do not usually outweigh its disadvantages. The reduction in gain and the increases in sidelobes that are a consequence of thinning the elements are usually not desirable in most radar applications. |

The dynamic range is greater since digital MTI processors do not experience the spurious responses which limit signals in acoustic delay lines to about 35 to 40 dB above minimum detectable signal level.25 (A major restriction on dynamic range in a digital MTI is that imposed by the A/D converter.) In an analog delay-line canceler the delay time and the pulse repetition period must be made equal. This is si~plified in a digital MTI since the timing or the sampling of the bipolar video can be controlled readily by the timing of the transmitted pulse. Thus, different pulse repetition periods can be used without the necessity of switching delay lines of various lengths in and out. |

The majority of modern marine radars operate within a range of 400to 4000 pulses per second. If the distance to a target is to be determined by measuring the time required for one pulse to travel to the target and return as a reflected echo, itis necessary that this cycle be completed before the pulse immediatelyfollowing is transmitted. This is the reason why the transmitted pulses mustbe separated by relatively long nontransmitting time periods. |

A directive antenna not only provides the transmitting gain and receiving aperture needed for detecting weak signals, but its narrow beamwidth allows the target's direction to be determined. A typical radar might have a heam width of perhaps one or two degrees. The angular resolution is determined by the beam width, but the angu]ar accuracy can be considerably better than the beamwidth. |

Eventually a point of saturated power output capability of the device is attained, and further increases in RF input drive level will actually produce a degraded power output level. At this point the device may also be thermally limited at a device junction. |
A silicon crystal and a tungsten wire are used as the rectifying contacts, and with correct adjustment this gives a ‘back- to-front’ ratio of about seven. The crystal and contact wire are mounted up in the capsule, which forms an . [22 HOW RADAR WORKS integral part of the transmission line, and when the contact is satisfactory the whole capsule is filled with molten wax to stabilize the crystal against vibration. |
