Abstract
A radar system is described in which a transmitter transmits two consecutive pulses only one of which is frequency swept and in which a receiver has two channels, one for non-swept pulses reflected from short range targets and the other for swept pulses from long range targets.
Claims7
A radar system comprising a transmitter means for transmitting two consecutive radar pulses, which are separated by a predetermined interval only one of said pulses being frequency swept and a receiver having a first channel means for processing non-swept pulses and providing signals indicative of targets in a first range zone and a second channel means for processing the swept pulses and providing a pulse compressed signal indicative of targets in a second range zone.
A receiver for use in a radar system in which two radar pulses are transmitted in consecutive fashion separated by a predetermined interval only one of said pulses being frequency swept, said receiver comprising a first channel means for processing non-swept pulses and providing signals indicative of targets in a first range zone, and a second channel means for processing swept pulses and providing a pulse compressed signal indicative of targets in a second range zone.
