Radar Principles and Systems Part II

Learning Objectives Comprehend the factors that effect radar performance Comprehend frequency modulated CW as a means of range determination Comprehend the basic principles of operation of pulse-doppler radar and MTI systems

Factors That Affect Radar Performance Signal Reception Receiver Bandwidth Pulse Shape Power Relation Beam Width Pulse Repetition Frequency Antenna Gain Radar Cross Section of Target Signal-to-noise ratio Receiver Sensitivity Pulse Compression Scan Rate –Mechanical –Electronic Carrier Frequency Antenna aperture

Radar Receiver Performance Factors Signal Reception Signal-to-Noise Ratio Receiver Bandwidth Receiver Sensitivity

Signal Reception Only a minute portion of the RF is reflected off the target. Only a fraction of that returns to the antenna. Theweaker the signalthat the receiver can process, the greater the effective range.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio Measured in dB!!!!! Ability to recognize target in random noise –Noise is always present. –At some range, noise is greater that target’s return Noise sets lower limit of unit’s sensitivity Threshold level used to remove excess noise

Receiver Bandwidth Frequency range receiver can process Receiver must process many frequencies –Pulses generated by summing sine waves of various frequencies –Frequency shifts occur from Doppler Effects Reducing the bandwidth –Increases signal-to-noise ratio (good) –Distorts transmitted pulse (bad)

Receiver Sensitivity Smallest return signal that is discernible against the noise background –Milliwatts range Important factor in determining unit’s maximum range

Pulse Effects on Radar Performance Pulse Shape Pulse Width Pulse Compression Pulse Power

Pulse Shape Determines –Range accuracy –Minimum and maximum range Ideally want pulse with vertical –Leading edge –Trailing edge –Clear signal Easily discernible when listening for echo

Pulse Width Determines radar range resolution –Minimum detection range –Maximum detection range The narrower the pulse, the better the range resolution

Pulse Compression Increases frequency of the wave within the pulse. Allows for good range resolution while packing enough power to provide a large maximum range.

Pulse Power “Ummph” to get signal out a long way High peak power desirable to achieve maximum ranges Lower power radar units mean –Smaller and more compact –Less power required to operate

Other Factors Affecting Performance Scan Rate and Beam Width –Narrow beam require slower antenna rotation rate Pulse Repetition Frequency –Determines radars maximum range(tactical factor) Carrier Frequency –Determines antenna size, beam directivity and target size Radar Cross Section (What radar can see(reflect)) –F(x) of target size, shape, material, angle and carrier frequency

Combined Radar Systems Frequency Modulated CW Pulse Doppler MTI systems
