A Method For The Prediction Of Detection Ranges For Pulsed Doppler Radar, Phillip Orlan Brown Jan 1960

A Method For The Prediction Of Detection Ranges For Pulsed Doppler Radar, Phillip Orlan Brown

Masters Theses

"Modern radar systems must provide greater detection ranges both against high and low altitude targets because of the significant advances in weapon speed and range. Extended range indicates that the power transmitted by the radar must be increased. It follows, that ground return becomes a problem even at high altitudes.

There are at present three basic types of radars which are (1) pulsed, (2) continuous wave, and (3) pulsed doppler radar. The conventional pulsed radar now closely approaches the theoretical optimum performance; however, it does not have the inherent ability to distinguish between ground return and moving targets. The continuous …
