  2. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

    A pulse-Doppler radar is a radar system that determines the range to a target using pulse-timing techniques, and uses the Doppler effect of the returned signal to determine the target object's velocity. It combines the features of pulse radars and continuous-wave radars, which were formerly separate due to the complexity of the electronics.

  3. Pulse-Doppler signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_signal...

    Pulse-Doppler signal processing. Pulse-Doppler signal processing is a radar and CEUS performance enhancement strategy that allows small high-speed objects to be detected in close proximity to large slow moving objects. Detection improvements on the order of 1,000,000:1 are common. Small fast moving objects can be identified close to terrain ...

  4. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    The most effective clutter reduction technique is pulse-Doppler radar with Look-down/shoot-down capability. Doppler separates clutter from aircraft and spacecraft using a frequency spectrum, so individual signals can be separated from multiple reflectors located in the same volume using velocity differences. This requires a coherent transmitter.

  5. Radar jamming and deception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_jamming_and_deception

    Cover pulse jamming creates a short noise pulse when radar signal is received thus concealing any aircraft flying behind the jammer with a block of noise. Digital radio frequency memory , or DRFM jamming , or Repeater jamming is a repeater technique that manipulates received radar energy and retransmits it to change the return the radar sees.

  6. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    Doppler effect. The emitted signal toward the car is reflected back with a variation of frequency that depends on the speed away/toward the radar (160 km/h). This is only a component of the real speed (170 km/h). The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842, is the difference ...

  7. Radar horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_horizon

    Pulse-Doppler radar can reduce clutter by over 60 dB, which can allow objects smaller than 1-square-foot (0.093 m 2) to be detected without overloading computers and users. Systems using pulse-Doppler signal processing with speed rejection set above the wind speed have no clutter zone. This means that the clear region extends all the way to the ...

  8. Pulse compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_compression

    Pulse compression is a signal processing technique commonly used by radar, sonar and echography to either increase the range resolution when pulse length is constrained or increase the signal to noise ratio when the peak power and the bandwidth (or equivalently range resolution) of the transmitted signal are constrained.

  9. Radar engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_engineering

    Radar engineering. Radar engineering is the design of technical aspects pertaining to the components of a radar and their ability to detect the return energy from moving scatterers — determining an object's position or obstruction in the environment. [1][2][3] This includes field of view in terms of solid angle and maximum unambiguous range ...
