The mainlobe of the compressed pulse at the output of the matched filter has time, or range, sidelobes that occur within time intervals of duration T, before and after the peak of the peak of the compressed pulse. The time sidelobes can conceal targets, which would otherwise be resolved using a narrow uncoded pulse. In some cases, such as phase-coded waveforms or nonlinear frequency modulation waveforms, matched filter processing alone achieves acceptable time sidelobe levels. |
For example, a C-band phase shifter, operating over an 8 percent bandwidth was capable of handling 100 kW of peak power at an average power of 600 W. The insertion loss was 0.9 dB with a maximum VSWR of 1.25. However, it required 125 /rs to switch the phase. |

Its chief limitation is that the target must be in the presence of relatively large clutter signals if moving-target detection is to take place. Clutter echoes may not always be present over the range at which detection is desired. The clutter serves the same function as does the reference signal in the coherent MTI. |
Further laboratory70 and theoreti - cal71 studies have shown that the major scattering feature under these conditions is the vertical stalk that emerges shortly after drop impact. Moreover, these studies suggest that the V-polarized returns from raindrop splashes should be only mildly sensitive to the rain rate, while the H-polarized returns should show a strong dependence on both the rain rate and the drop-size distribution. Something of this behavior may be seen in the data in Figure 15.17. |

One of the major factors in this regard has been the introduction of digital devices for conveniently computing the Fourier transform. Digital filter banks and the FFT. A transversal filter with N outputs (N pulses and N - 1 delay lines) can be made to form a bank of N contiguous filters covering the frequency range from 0 to f,, where .fp = pulse repetition frequency. |
In one example. it was shown that the fading is strongly dependent on the radar and the target heights, and that for centimeter wavelengths the fading occurs at intervals of from two to three miles.

We then look at the apparatus moving the spot of light, and make sure that it is causing it to move at an absolutely constant speed, so that the spot does not travel faster along one part of the apparent line than it does along another.

And there is another complication. The individual ocean wave trains are not completely independent—they interact weakly and produce evanescent nonlinear product waves that, while not freely propagating, change the geometry of the sea surface and contribute to the scattered field at second order, also via Bragg scattering. Thus, as shown first by Barrick,81 the second-order scattering kernel is made up of electromagnetic and hydrodynamic terms, Γ Γ Γ = +EM HYD. |

A typical GPR achieves a range of up to a few meters, but some special systems can penetrate up to hundreds of meters or even kilometers. A few GPR systems have been operated from aircraft and from satellites to image geological features buried beneath the Saharan deserts as well as measuring the depth of the Moon and features on Mars or comets. The range of the GPR in the ground is limited because of the absorption the signal undergoes, while it travels on its two-way path through the ground material. |
The primary feed should be designed with care and can be complex to give the desired aperture amplitude distribution with low spillover losses. The transmitter feed can be separated from the receiver feed by an angle a , as shown in Figure 13.30. The phase shifters are then reset between trans - mitting and receiving so that in both cases the beam points in the same direction. |
Similar results were noted for the improvement in a conventional PPI when the pulses were displayed side-by-side. In other experiments with the PPI, the integration improvement has been reported to be proportional to 1.5 dB per doubling of the number of pulses, which corresponds to n"2.50 Improvements as high as 1.8 dB per doubling were also observed, but this is less than the 2.2 to 386INTRODUCTION TORADAR SYSTEMS moreinformation thaneithertheenvelope orthezero-crossings detector. itisnotsurprising thatthesignal-to-noise.ratio fromthecoherent detector isbetterthanfromtheothertwo.The improvement inthesignal-to-noise ratiomightvaryfrom1to3dBormore,overtherangeof signal-to-noise ratiosofinterest inmostradarapplications. |

The Sequential Observer makes a relatively prompt decision when only noise is present. The average savings also depend upon whether detection is performed coherently or noncoherently. Assuming coherent detection (pulses integrated predetection) and Pv = 0.90 and Pra = 10-8, the Sequential Observer is able to determine, on the average, that noise alone is present with less than one-tenth the number of observations required for the Neyman Pearson Observer.90 In the presence of a threshold signal, the Sequential Observer requires, on the average, about one-half the number of observations of the equivalent fixed-sample observer. |
