Abstract
A radar performance monitor is provided. The monitor includes a receiver for receiving a transmission signal of which a temporal change of a frequency is non-linear, the transmission signal being transmitted from a radar unit of a pulse-compression radar apparatus, and a response signal generator for generating a response signal of which a temporal change of a frequency is linear and transmitting the response signal to the radar unit as a response to the transmission signal received by the receiver.
Claims9
A radar performance monitor, comprising:
- a receiver that receives a transmission signal of which a frequency changes non-linearly with time, the transmission signal being transmitted from a radar unit of a pulse-compression radar apparatus;
- a response signal generator that generates a response signal of which a frequency changes linearly with time and transmits the response signal to the radar unit as a response to the transmission signal received by the receiver.
A method of measuring a radar performance, comprising:
- transmitting a transmission signal of which a frequency changes non-linearly with time, from a radar unit of a pulse-compression radar apparatus;
- receiving the transmission signal by a radar performance monitor of the pulse-compression radar apparatus;
- transmitting a response signal of which a frequency changes linearly with time, from the radar performance monitor to the radar unit as a response to the transmission signal;
- and
- performing a pulse compression on the response signal based on the transmission signal.
