The transmitter-to-target-to-receiver range measured by a bistatic radar is the range sum ( RT + RR). Methods for measuring this sum are given in Section 23.6. The range sum locates the target somewhere on the surface of an ellipsoid whose foci are the transmitter and receiver sites. |

Their approach is a combination of space-time processing (see the literature1,25,45,46, for a discussion of Space-Time Adaptive Processing or STAP) and time-frequency processing.47,48 Figure 17.10 a shows a simulated point-spread function (PSF) of a moving point target after clutter cancellation, and Figure 10 b shows the final simu - lated PSF after range migration compensation. The authors state: “The [point] target is supposed moving on the terrain (shadow - ing effects have been neglected) at a constant velocity, in a direction oblique with respect to the radar motion. The velocity parameters have been chosen in order to make evident the presence of range migration and of cross-range smearing of the tar - get image. |
This type of antenna, an example of which is shown in Fig. 7.25, is widely used when ran beams are desired.

(8.30). the loss of gain is found to be 1.0 dB for a two-bit phase shifter, 0.23 dB for a three-bit phase shifter, and 0.06 dB for four bits. On the basis of the loss in gain, a three-or four-bit phase shifter should be satisfactory for most applications. |

Often, RWS is RGHPRF with three phases in which a constant frequency and two chirp (linear FM) frequencies (triangular up-down or up-steeper up) are used to resolve range and doppler in a sparse target space. At low altitudes, sidelobe clutter, even with STAP processing, limits performance for all targets but especially opening targets. ch05.indd 20 12/17/07 1:26:54 PMDownloaded from Digital Engineering Library @ McGraw-Hill (www.digitalengineeringlibrary.com) Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies. |
72 INTRODUCTION TO RADAR SYSTEMS the noise that accompanies the transmitter leakage signal rather than by any damage caused by high power.5 For example, suppose the isolation between the transmitter and receiver were such that 10 mW of leakage signal appeared at the receiver. If the minimum detectable signal were 10-13 watt (100 dB below 1 mW), the transmitter noise must be at least 110 dB (preferably 120 or 130 dB) below the transmitted carrier. The transmitter noise of concern in doppler radar includes those noise components that lie within the same frequency range as the doppler frequencies. |
An advantage claimed for this hybrid tracking technique is that, like monopulse, target amplitude fluctuations do not affect the tracking accuracy. It is also claimed that the simplicity of conical scan is retained. Both claims can be debated. |

Examples are drawn from the design of TOPEX.83,84 Pulse-limited Altimeters. Figure 18.10 illustrates the pulse-limited condition.85 The radius rP of the area delimited on a quasi-flat surface by a pulse of length t sec- onds on the Earth of mean radius RE seen from a relative altitude of h kilometers is r c hP R = τ α/ (18.16) where a R = (RE + h)/RE is a consequence of the spherical observation geometry. For typical satellite radar altimeters, the pulse-limited footprint over a quasi-flat surface is on the order of two kilometers in diameter. |
An equivalent definition of improvement factor is / = rjr0, where rt is the input ratio of clutter to noise and r0 is the output ratio of clutter residue to noise. The use of/ is encouraged instead of older terms, such as cancellation ratio and clutter attenuation, because these terms have not been consistently used in the literature and are not always normalized to the average canceler noise gain. Signal-to-Clutter Ratio Improvement (/SCR)- For a system employing multiple doppler filters, such as the MTD, each filter will have a different improvement factor against the same clutter source. |

For a loss-free, isotropic antenna, the gain is unity. In free space, the power density at a loss-free, isotropic receiving antenna is the power density over the entire sphere’s surface times the area of the sphere covered by the receiver antenna, also called the antenna’s effective aperture, Ae. The effective aperture is related to the wavelength ( l) of radiation by AG e=l p2 4 (26.9) Thus, the power at the receiver, Pr , for isotropic radiating and receiving antennas (Gt = Gr = 1) is P P AP rr a et= =l p2 24( ) (26.10) The free-space path loss, Lfs, expressed in terms of the sphere’s radius, r, and wave - length, l, where r and l are in the same units is LP Prt rfs= = 10 104 10 102 2log l og( )p l (26.11) Free-space path loss, Lfs, expressed in terms of range and frequency (in decibels) is given by L f rfs= + + 3245 20 20 . |
Hence, there will be no bias error over water. A very narrow antenna beam will also reduce the over-water bias error without the need for lobe switching. Another source of error is the mass movement of water caused by tides, currents, and winds, which result in a doppler frequency shift in addition to that caused by the aircraft's motion. |

This value can be calculated by measuring the time it takes the signal to return. The range is important since the power obtaining a reflecting object is inversely related to the square of its range from the radar. Free-space path loss i s the loss in signal strength of an electromagnetic wave that would result from a line -of-sight path through free space, with no obstacles nearby to cause reflection or diffraction. |

Then, before eclipse occurs, the PRF is switched to one of the other values. One of these val- ues is certain to be uneclipsed, owing to the synchronization and relative PRF values. Since tracking is carried out in true range, no transient occurs and eclipse-free tracking continues indefinitely. |

The shorted-turn effect may be minimized by a waveguide made of plastic which is coated with a thin copper plating. Sometimes a slit is cut in the side wall of the waveguide to reduce the eddy currents. Another factor that complicates operation is hysteresis which causcs the value of permeability to differ for increasing and decreasing current. |

If weight is an important consideration, as it would be in a space-based sys - tem, then the circulator could be replaced by diode switches requiring additional logic and driving circuitry. 13.11 MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS RECEIVE BEAMS With the proliferation of ballistic missiles, future shipboard radar systems will prob - ably need multi-mission capability, which includes both anti–air warfare (AAW) and ballistic missile defense (BMD). The BMD requirement to discriminate small radar cross section (RCS) re-entry vehicles (RVs) at long ranges requires that active array radars have a large power-aperture-gain/loss-noise temperature (PAG/LT), which is a measure of the sensitivity of the radar. |

Ri17e~~ has shown that tlie approximation to the antenna pattern derived on the basis of tlie Fourier integral for continuous antennas (or the Fourier-series method for discrete arrays) has tlie property that the mean-square deviation between the desired and the approximate patterns is a minimum. It is in this sense (least mean square) that the Fourier method is optimum. The larger the aperture (or the greater the number of elements in the array), the better will be the approximation. |
At the higher frequencies the backscatter from rain is greater, and the MTI blind speeds are more of a prohlem. Because of the smaller apertures and the greater effect of rain clutter, S-band radars arc likely to have less range capability than radars at lower frequencies. Frequencies higher than S band are seldom used for long-range air surveillance. |

A few are here listed: Still Object Recognition: Stationary objects have the same characteristics as objects on the sides of the roads or bridges. They are distinguished only by their history, meaning that it is recognized somewhat late whether the objects represent dangers or not. Detection with vrel = 0: With FM -CW sensor there can be problems for objects which move very quickly, where vrel = 0, since the velocity value zero is difficult to measure. |
Unless all the reflections are collimated back at some central point (or independent feeds are used), some of the reflected energy will generally be re-reflected and contribute to large undesirable sidelobes. For large arrays the impedance of an element located near the center of the array is often taken as typical of the impedance of every element in the array. As might be expected, this element is most strongly influenced by elements in its immediate vicinity. |

The impulse response of the filter, if it is to be realizable, is not defined for t < 0. (One cannot have any response before the impulse is applied.) Therefore we must always have t < t 1• This is equivalent to the condition placed on the transfer function H(/) that there be a phase shift exp ( -j2rrft 1 ). However, for the sake of convenience, the impulse response of the matched filter is sometimes written simply as s( -t ). |

The memory of a clutter map is usually organized in a uniform grid of range and azimuth cells, as illustrated in Figure 2.89. Each map cell will typically have 8 to 16 bits of memory so that it will handle the full dynamic range of signals at its input, which makes it possible to detect a strong target flying over a point of clutter (some - times referred to as superclutter visibility ). The dimensions of each cell are a compro - mise between the required memory and several performance characteristics. |

The results of this comparison are presented in Figure 2.87, which shows the improvement factor for the optimum and the adaptive MTI as a function of the power ratio Q (dB). When Q is small so that chaff returns dominate, a significant performance improvement can be realized by using all MTI filter zeros to cancel the chaff returns. The performance difference for large values of Q is a result of an assumption made that the location of the third zero remains fixed at the chaff doppler frequency. |

The benefits of using ECCM techniques such as frequency agility, coherent doppler processing, very low sidelobe antennas, and SLC can be easily assessed at a first approximation by properly modifying the parameters involved in the radar equation. If, for instance, an SLC is adopted against an SOJ, its net effect is to reduce jamming power by the amount of jammer cancellation ratio that the SLC can offer. The prediction of radar range is difficult because of the many factors that are hard to represent with models of the required accuracy. |
Under such circumstances, it is possible to determine the depth sufficiently accurately by measuring the elapsed time between the leading edge of the received wavelet provided the propagation velocity is accurately known. Although a greater depth resolution is achieved in wetter materials for a given transmitted bandwidth because of the reduced wavelength in high dielectric materials, earth materials with significant water content tend to have higher attenuation proper - ties. This characteristic reduces the effective bandwidth, tending to balance out the change so that within certain bounds the resolution is approximately independent of loss within the propagating material.FIGURE 21.5 Two resolved Ricker wavelets0.2 0.1 0 −0.1 −0.201282563845126407688961024 FIGURE 21.6 Two unresolved Ricker wavelets0.13 −0.13 01282563845126407688961024 ch21.indd 12 12/17/07 2:51:21 PMDownloaded from Digital Engineering Library @ McGraw-Hill (www.digitalengineeringlibrary.com) Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies. |
This was not very convenient when flying from Chivenor (in Devon) and the Isles of Scilly were proposed as an alternative target. With the radar correctly tuned, Lundy Island could be detected at about 40 miles from 3000 ft, whilst the Isles of Scilly could be detected at up to about 30 miles. It was stated that adetection range of 25 –30 miles on the Isles of Scilly should indicate a detection range of about 15 miles on a submarine, whilst ranges of 15 –20 miles against the Scillies would indicate a range of less than 10 miles on a submarine. |

The magnetic field at 300 km, 400 km, and 500 km was picked as the mid-value along each radio path, respectively. For each scene of PolSAR, FR estimation from Equation (2) may be biased by residual calibration errors, though PALSAR has been reported to be well calibrated [ 27,28]. Therefore, following [ 29], only pixels of SNR >10 dB were selected to estimate the final TEC. |

Parameter selections are made on the basis of the best SNR in each nominal 50-nmi interval, but the selection is adjusted to come from the adjacent lower frequency to avoid an optimistic bias.

Research radars have rarely used STC owing to the attendant loss of sensitivity at short ranges. 19.3 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Four of the more significant factors that affect the design of meteorological radars are attenuation, range ambiguities, velocity ambiguities, and ground or sea clutter. The combination of these factors, along with the need to obtain adequate spatial resolu - tion, leads to a wavelength selection in the range of 3 to 10 cm for most precipitation based applications. |
