Abstract:
A radar for locating and tracking objects based on the use of a pulsed waveform, each pulse of the pulsed waveform being made up of a plurality of spectral components having different frequencies, comprising:(a) an antenna; (b) a transmitter operatively coupled to the antenna for generating the plurality of spectral components; (c) a receiver operatively coupled to the antenna for receiving signals at the frequencies of the plurality of spectral components; (d) a signal processor operatively coupled to the receiver for processing the received signals in order to generate and output a radar presentation and to detect the presence of other signals at particular frequencies; (e) a display operatively coupled to the signal processor for displaying the radar presentation; and (f) a controller operatively coupled to the transmitter and the signal processor for varying the frequencies at which the plurality of spectral components are generated in response to information received from the signal processor, such that the transmitter generates spectral components at frequencies different from the frequencies of other signals detected by the signal processor.
