For one thing, there are several ways inwhich the echo in question can beidentified asoriginating from the preceding pulse. The useofaslightly irregular pulse-recurrence rate, forinstance, will prevent overlapping ofsuccessive echoes ofthis type from the same target, without affecting the superposition ofechoes from atarget lying within therange limit defined above. Ifamore powerful remedy isneeded, the unwanted echoes can beremoved altogether bysome such scheme as thefollowing one. |
government budget authorities. The second was set by physics, conditional upon the data-rate capabilities of the Deep Space Network.112 The lesson, of course, is that it is not enough to do good (read “big budget, SBR-based”) science, it must be done efficiently and relatively patiently. In the case of Magellan , however, these top-level restraints motivated a superb innovative radar design. |

Probably the most prominent source of angels is birds. Although the radar cross section of a single bird is small compared with that of an ordinary aircraft, the backscatter echo from a bird can be readily detected by many radars, especially at the shorter ranges, because of the inverse-fourth-power variation of echo signal with range. If, for example, the cross section of a bird the size of a sea gull were 0.01 m2, it would produce as large an echo signal al a range of 10 nmi as would a 100 m2 radar cross-section target at 100 nmi. |

2.2 INTRODUCTION TO MTI RADAR The purpose of MTI radar is to reject returns from fixed or slow-moving unwanted targets, such as buildings, hills, trees, sea, and rain, and retain for detection or display signals from moving targets such as aircraft. Figure 2.1 shows a pair of photographs of a PPI, which illustrates the effectiveness of such an MTI system. The distance from the center to the edge of the PPI is 40 nmi. |

Measurements made on the middle Atlantic coast of the United States show HF broadcast-band signals with strengths of 5 to 10 mV/m. These ambient levels must be accommodated in re- ceiver design since a wideband front end is desirable for rapid and frequent fre- quency changes. The practice in allocations for HF radar operation is to permit use of broad bands of the spectrum with a requirement to cause no interference to an existing service and to provide a lockout feature for channels that need protection. |

Antennas which must be operated in severe weather are usually enclosed for protection in a sheltering structure called a radome. Radomes must be mechanically strong if they are to provide the necessary protection, yet they must not interfere with the normal operation of the antenna. Antennas mounted on aircraft must also be housed within a radome to offer protection from large aerodynamic loads and to avoid disturbance to the control of the aircraft and minimize drag. |
As we shall see later, this is a reasonable approximation for pulse radars with conventional superheterodyne receivers. It is not generally valid for other waveforms, however, and is mentioned to illustrate in a qualitative manner the effect of the receiver characteristic on signal-to-noise ratio. The exact specification of the optimum receiver characteristic involves the frequency-response function and the shape of the received waveform. |
The impedance will also vary with scan angle. For a finite array the properties vary with location of the element within the array. In some arrays, dummy elements are placed on the periphery so as to provide tlie eleriients near the edge with an environment more like those located in the interior. |

The key premise of the equivalence principle is that fields from a scatterer (e.g., a reflector) can be represented by an “equivalent” electric current Jand magnetic current M that are directly related to the incident E and H fields via J n H = ׈ (12.31) M n E = − ׈ (12.32) where ˆnis the normal to the reflector surface. The application of the equivalence principle to PO-based reflector analyses as shown here is a specialized case wherein the reflector is an electric conductor, and contributions from surface currents on the backside of the reflector are deemed negligible. An appropriate application of image theory42–44 imposes a zero tangential E-field (Eq. |

In the design of an outdoor test range, therefore, a decision must be made whether to exploit the ground bounce or to attempt to defeat it. It is generally easier to exploit it than to eliminate it.FIGURE 14.22 The metal support pylon. The design is for an incident wave arriving from the left. |

In addition to open ocean observations, calibrated data from this class of SBR have been applied to a variety of large-area surface features, such as determination of sea ice coverage, mapping the boundaries between the principal ice zones of Greenland, or global estimation of tropical deforestation. In all such applications, the emphasis is on measurement of mean reflectivity over large areas, rather than mapping fine spatial detail. These radars typically have resolutions on the scale of 10s of kilometers, sup - ported over swaths of 1000 kilometers or more. |

Acquisition depends on the direction of arrival (DoA), operating band, carrier frequency, pulse width, PRI, scan rate, and other parameters of the victim radar. An ARM homes on the continuous radiation from the radar sidelobes or on the flash of energy from the main beam. ARM benefits from the one-way-only radar signal attenua - tion. |

Multifeed designs use combining networks to generate differential feed distributions. In its simplest form, an (az/el) multifeed monopulse feed array can be realized as a four-element feed, as shown in Figure 12.28. However, some applications use more feed elements to further tailor the distribution to improve efficiency and/or difference beam slope. |

However, the basic signal processing of amplitude- and phase-comparison monopulse is similar, but the control of amplitude distribution across an array aperture for the sum and difference signals maintains efficiency and lower sidelobes. Figure 9.10 shows the antenna and receiver for one angular-coordinate tracking by phase comparison monopulse. Any phase shifts occurring in the mixer and IF ampli - fier stages causes a shift in the boresight of the system. |
The peak loss is considerable under the scintillation, which will reduce the visibility of weak scatters and the contrast of SAR images. The experiment results also demonstrate that the scintillation effect is less serious in the case of CkL≤1032and p≤2 and this can be considered to be a threshold to evaluate the influence of scintillation effect on space-borne P-band SAR system. Another group of Monte-Carlo simulations are carried out to make a comparison between stripmap mode and sliding spotlight mode as is shown in Table 3. |

The higher thermal conductivity of SiC enables more efficient thermal manage - ment. Coupled with the high breakdown voltage and channel current capability of the SiC MESFET, measured results of 80 watts of CW power output with an 8 dB associ - ated level of large signal gain at 3.1 GHz from a 58 V drain supply voltage have been reported24 from a single transistor cell. Electron mobility in the GaN HEMT at saturated drift velocities is high enough that high gain with simultaneous high power output and high efficiencies can be achieved with voltages as low as 20 to 30 volts. |

One of the chief reasons for employing automatic detection is to overcome the limitations of an operator due to fatigue, boredom, and overload. In addition, the use of automatic detection allows the radar output to be transmitted over telephone lines rather than by more expensive broadband microwave links, since only detected target information need be transmitted and not the full bandwidth signal (raw video). Automatic detection is also an important part of automatic detection and track (ADT) systems, as discussed in Sec. |
