RADAR
• RADAR – RAdio Detection and RAnging
• First successfully demonstrated in 1936
• Electromagnetic Waves are used
• Wide range of applications
 Aircrafts
 Ship
 Satellite Communication
 Communication Systems

Types of Radar
MTI – Moving Target Indicator
Radar System of Ship
Terms in Radar System
Know the following terms:
Pulse width
Pulse repetition frequency
Carrier frequency
Peak power
Average power
Duty cycle

Basic Radar Types
• Pulse Transmission
• Continuous Wave
7
Pulse Transmission
• Pulse Width (PW)
– Length or duration of a given pulse
• Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)
– Frequency at which consecutive pulse are transmitted
• Pulse Repetition Time (PRT=1/PRF)
– Time from beginning of one pulse to the next
– Inverse of PRF
• PW determines radar’s
– Minimum detection range
– Maximum detection range
• PRF determines radar’s
– Maximum detection range

 Continual energy transmission
 Separate transmit/receive antennas
 Relies on “DOPPLER SHIFT”
Doppler Frequency Shifts
Motion Away:
Echo Frequency Decreases

Pulse Vs. Continuous Wave
Pulse Echo
• Single antenna
• Gives range, usually
altitude as well
• Susceptible to jamming
• Range determined by PW
and PRF
Continuous Wave
• Requires 2 antennae
• Range or Altitude info
• High SNR
• More difficult to jam but
easily deceived
• Can be tuned to look for
frequencies
15
RADAR Wave Modulation
 Amplitude Modulation
– Vary the amplitude of the carrier sine wave
 Frequency Modulation
– Vary the frequency of the carrier sine wave
 Pulse-Amplitude Modulation
– Vary the amplitude of the pulses
 Pulse-Frequency Modulation
– Vary the Frequency at which the pulses occur
16
Antenna
• Two basic purposes:
– Radiates RF energy
– Provides beam forming and energy focusing
• Must be 1/2 the wave length for maximum wave
length employed
• Wide beam pattern for search
• Narrow beam pattern for tracking

Normal radar functions:
1. Range (from pulse delay)
2. Velocity (from Doppler frequency shift)
3. Angular direction (from antenna pointing)
Signature analysis and inverse scattering:
4. Target size (from magnitude of return)
5. Target shape and components (return as a function of direction)
6. Moving parts (modulation of the return)
7. Material composition
