Abstract
A radar system comprises means for forming a transmission pulse signal as m sets of n pulses, the individual sets having respective PRPs Ti (i=1, 2, . . . , m) moving target detection means, and angle measurement means utilizing beam-to-beam amplitude comparison and interpolation for a given moving target. Beam-to-beam amplitude comparison and interpolation is carried out at least twice for one target by making use of a pair of video signals with the same PRP processed by the moving target detection means. The angle measurement is achieved through a predetermined correlation processing over thus obtained interpolated angle values for a target.
Claims1
A radar system comprising:
- means for forming a transmission pulse signal as m (m being an integer greater than unity) sets of n pulses, the individual sets having respective PRPS TI (i=1, 2, . . ., m);
- moving target detection means having an MTI canceller, a plurality of multi-doppler filters which separate an output signal of said MTI canceller in accordance with doppler frequencies and a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processor which applies a CFAR processing to an output of each of said multi-doppler filters;
- and
- angle measurement means utilizing beam-to-beam amplitude comparison and interpolation for a given moving target, said beam-to-beam amplitude comparison and interpolation being carried out at least twice for one target by making use of a pair of video signals with the same PRP processed by said moving target detection means, said angle measurement being achieved through a predetermined correlation processing over thus obtained interpolated angle values for a target.
