Multipath effects can severely distort the pulse envelope, for example, by creating a long tail to the pulse and even displacing the position of the peak. The TOA of the pulse can be taken as the instant that a threshold is crossed, but in the presence of noise and distortion this becomes a very variable measure- ment. Nevertheless, the TOA is used for deriving the PRI of the radar. |

The advantage of the airborne platform in extending the maximum detection range for air and surface targets is apparent when one considers that the radar horizon is 12 nmi for a 100-ft antenna mast compared with 123 nmi for a 10,000-ft aircraft altitude. Loss of picket ships due to kamikaze attacks led to the concept of the auton- omous airborne detection and control station. This type of system was further developed as a barrier patrol aircraft for continental air defense. |

The first MTI acoustic delC:lY lines were liquid and used water or mercury. The development of the solid quartz delay iine for MTI application in the 1950s offered greater convenience than the liquid lines. 33 The solid line is constructed of many facets so that a relatively long delay time can be obtained with a small volume by means of multiple internal reflections. |

These excursions can significantly increase the errors in angle tracking or measurement systems. When the returns from dominant scatterers are reduced in the bistatic region, the source and hence the magnitude of glint excursions are reduced. Limited measurements for tactical aircraft show that, for a 30° bistatic angle, peak glint excursions can be reduced by a factor of 2 or more, with most of the excursions contained within the physical extent of the target.54 Forward-Scatter RCS Region. |

It is, however, costly and complex. The transmitter radiates a fan beam from the summation of all overlapping pencil beams to give the desired elevation coverage. A separate receiver is provided each pencil beam and some means of interpolation between the beams is used to refine the angle measurement. |

Superresolution might be able to resolve multiple independent sources; due to sidelobe superposition and masking problems, superreso - lution might be vital for jammer mapping in case of multiple jammers.

In previous work, the variation of beam central incident angle is never considered due to the observation geometry of the stripmap mode. However, for sliding spotlight mode, the beam scanning leads to the increase of incident angle which will prolong the signal propagation path in irregularity layer and further aggravates the signal decorrelation. The instant ionospheric incident angle is applied as a modification of ACF for sliding spotlight mode which is presented as Rφ(ω1,ω2;Δx)=r2 eλ1λ2CsLsecθnsecθsq(ηm)·G/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleΔx 2qL/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsinglev−1/2Kv−1/2(q0Δx) 2π·Γ0(v+1/2)(11) where θsq(ηm)is the squint angle at the mthsampling point. |

If a PPI were to display relative bearing (azimuth) the apparent bearing would change as the platform yawed. With the aid of a horizontal gyroscope to provide a north reference, a correction signal can be obtained which can be applied to the indicator to permit the display of the target in its true bearing rather than the bearing relative to the platform heading. Generally the top of the display corresponds to north. |
4.The grid-modulation characteristic ofmost electrostatic tubes follows approximately asquare law, whereas that oftheguns used inmost magnetic tubes iscubic. Ascompared with alinear response, these characteristics have the unfortunate property of lowering the dynamic range ofusable echo intensities since they reduce the ratio between the upper limit ofuseful signal swing, setbythe tendency todefocus, and the level below which the intensity isinsufficient.

The angular- error signal actuates a servo-control system to position the antenna, and the range output from the sum charlnel feeds into an automatic-range-tracking unit.

Now in radar the operator is looking at the end of the tube, and if there is any danger of his touching part of the apparatus it is the tube end. That, as we can see, may quite often have a voltage of some 3000 applied to it, enough to cause a fatal accident. In many radar out- fits, therefore, the actual screen end of the tube is brought to earth potential, and the high-voltage anode in the tube is earthed. |

Operationally they can be a nuisance, because they tend to clutter up the line of light at places where we might find echoes of essential objects. The most that can be said for permanent echoes—or ‘PE’s,’ as they are called—is that they do not move along the trace (unless a building or hillside decides to perambulate), and so can be picked out. The real trouble caused by PE’s is that the great majority of them are found near at home, and thus even though we suppress the blip caused by the transmitter the first part of the trace is not very helpful to us, because it is confused with a mass of superimposed short-range echoes. |

The pulse repetition frequency might be switched every other scan or every time the antenna is scanned a half beamwidth, or the period might be alternated on every other pulse. When the switching is pulse to pulse, it is known as a staggered prf.

An example of the elevation angle error at low angles is shown in Fig. 5.16 for a target at constant height.43 At close range the target elevation angle is large and the antenna beam does not illuminate the surface; hence the tracking is smooth. At intermediate range, where the elevation angle is from 0.8 to as much as six beamwidths, the surface-reflected signal enters the radar by means of the antenna near-in sidelobes. |
If the power conditioner frequencies cannot be sufficiently attenuated, their frequency should be synchronized to a multiple of the PRF of the CPI so that modulations repeat precisely pulse-to-pulse and thus will cancel like stationary clutter . Rule 3. Design the system to be fully coherent. |
Because target contours are difficult to change once the target has become a production item, shaping is best imple- mented in the concept definition stage before production decisions have been made. Radar-absorbing materials actually soak up radar energy, also reducing the energy reflected back to the radar. However, the application of such materials can be expensive, whether gauged in terms of nonrecurring engineering costs, lifetime maintenance, or reduced mission capabilities. |

Another method of suppressing the altitude return in the pulse radar is to eliminate the signal in the frequency domain, rather than in the time domain, by inserting a rejection filter at the frequency .fo. ,The same rejection filter will also suppress the transmitter to-receiver leakage. The clutter energy from the main beam may also be suppressed by a rejection filter, but since the doppler frequency of this clutter component is not fixed, the rejection filter must be tunable and servo-controlled to track the main-beam clutter as it changes because of scanning or because of changes in aircraft velocity. |
