The sampled spectra of the two portions of the signal do not over - lap; the sampled signal is not aliased. As will be described in more detail later in the chapter, this technique, bandpass sampling, is a powerful tool that allows a relatively high-frequency signal to be sampled by a relatively low-performance digitizer, which can result in considerable cost savings. Figure 25.6 a shows the spectrum of a more general complex signal of bandwidth B before sampling.

A proper blanking logic allows this signal to pass. Targets and/or jammers J situated in the sidelobes give small main but large auxiliary signals so that these targets are suppressed by the blanking logic. It is assumed that the gain GA of the auxiliary antenna is higher than the maximum gain Gsl of the sidelobes of the radar antenna.

The lag error, in this case, is dependent on many factors, including the accuracy of the value of angle sensitivity used to convert error voltages to angular error, the size of the previous tracking error, and the time interval between looks.

tures the range-tracking circuits. The deception signal is then progressively de- layed in the jammer by using an RF memory, thereby "walking" the range gate off the actual target (range-gate pull-off, or RGPO, technique). When the range gate is sufficiently removed from the actual target, the deception jammer is turned off, forcing the tracking radar into a target reacquisition mode.12 Another DECM technique is called inverse-gain jamming; it is used to capture the angle-tracking circuits of a conical-scan tracking radar.8 This technique re- peats a replica of the received signal with an induced amplitude modulation which is the inverse of the victim radar's combined transmitting and receiving antenna scan patterns.

10.10 RADAR HANDBOOK 6x9 Handbook / Radar Handbook / Skolnik / 148547-3 / Chapter 10 If a TWT using a coupled-cavity circuit is cathode-pulsed (Section 10.7), there is an instant during the rise and fall of voltage when the beam velocity becomes synchro - nous with the cutoff frequency (the so-called p mode) of the microwave circuit, and the tube can generate oscillations. These oscillations at the leading and trailing edges of the RF output pulse have a characteristic appearance on a power-time presentation that has given them the name rabbit ears . Only in rare cases has it been possible to sup - press these oscillations completely.
The parabola is well suited for microwave antennas because (I) any ray from the focus is reflected in a direction parallel to the axis of the paraboia atid (2) the distance traveled by any ray from the focus to the parabola and by reflection to a plane perpendicular to the parabola axis is independent of its path. Therefore a point source of energy located at the focus is converted into a plane wavefront of uniform phase. The basic parabolic contour has been used in a variety of configurations.

Footnotes within Chapter V of SOLAS identify the recommended IMO perfor - mance standards with which the equipment should conform. IMO has had recom - mended radar performance standards2 since 1971, published as annexes to IMO Resolutions. However, by 1980, radar manufacturers were reporting difficulties because differing interpretations by national maritime administrations meant that radars had to be specifically designed to meet individual flag State requirements.

If the radar frequency were 10 GHz, PRF 1 kHz, and ground speed 580 kt, the notch would have to be held within 0.29 kt or 0.005 Vg. Because of these requirements and the width of the platform-motion spectrum, stag - ger PRF systems must be chosen primarily on the basis of maintaining the stopband rather than flattening the passband. Similarly, higher-order delay-line filters (with or without feedback) are synthesized on the basis of stopband rejection.

The rms noise power at the output is smaller than the peak power from a point target by the factor BT. A detection threshold is set somewhere within this range of possible amplitude to allow point targets that are larger than the background to be detected.

The A/D converter has been, in the past, one of the critical parts of the MTI signal processor. It must operate at a speed high enough to preserve the information content of the radar signal, and the number of bits into which it quantizes the signal must be sufficient for the precision required. The number of bits in the AID converter determines the maximum inl- provement factor the MTI radar can achie~e.~.~~.'~ Generally the AID converter is designed to cover the peak excursion of the phase detector output.
The angle-error detector, assumed to be a product detector, has an output ld = *!icose where \e\ is the magnitude of the angle error voltage. Phases are adjusted to pro- vide O or 180° on a point-source target. The resultant is "l= ±4il Complex targets can cause other phase relations as a part of the angle scintilla- tion phenomenon.3 The above error voltage proportional to the ratio of the dif- ference signal divided by the sum signal is the desired angle-error-detector out- put, giving a constant angle error sensitivity.3 With limited AGC bandwidth, some rapid signal fluctuations modulate \e\9 but the long-time-average angle sensitivity is constant.

If the compression rate is high, the consistency is more obvious. However, by applying the proposed approach, reconstruction is performed through multi-channel joint sparsity, so as to ensure that the scattering points are at the same pixel of the images from different channels, which is more favorable for extraction of target height information.

Angle noise causes a change with time in the apparent location of the target with respect to a reference point on the target. This reference point is usually chosen as the center of “gravity ” of the reflectivity distribution along the target coordinate of interest. The center of gravity is the long-time-averaged track - ing angle on a target.

Under these assumptions a reduction of up to 20 dB can be achieved. The creation of a stealth object with materials adapted to the free -space wave- impedance, according to Equation (11.26), offers no advantages for loss- less materials, since only the phase velocity in the mat e- rial is lowered. Additionally would the material still have to absorb, since otherwise a refle c- tion takes place on the other side.
