  2. Moving target indication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_target_indication

    The probability of detecting a given target at a given range any time the radar beam scans across it, Pd is determined by factors that include the size of the antenna and the amount of power it radiates. A large antenna radiating at high power provides the best performance. For high quality information on moving targets the Pd must be very high.

  3. Plessey AR-320 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plessey_AR-320

    The AR-320 is a 3D early warning radar developed by the UK's Plessey in partnership with US-based ITT-Gilfillan.The system combined the receiver electronics, computer systems and displays of the earlier Plessey AR-3D with a Gilfillan-developed transmitter and planar array antenna from their S320 series.

  4. Clutter (radar) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutter_(radar)

    The solution to this problem is usually to add fill pulses to each coherent dwell of the radar, increasing the range over which clutter suppression is applied by the system. The tradeoff for doing this is that adding fill pulses will degrade the performance, due to wasted transmitter power and a longer dwell time .

  5. Radar scalloping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_scalloping

    Scalloping is a radar phenomenon that reduces sensitivity for certain distance and velocity combinations. The name is derived from the appearance of areas that are scooped out of graphs that indicate radar sensitivity. Moving objects cause a phase-shift within the transmit pulse that produces signal cancellation.

  7. Continuous-wave radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-wave_radar

    Continuous-wave radar (CW radar) is a type of radar system where a known stable frequency continuous wave radio energy is transmitted and then received from any reflecting objects. [1] Individual objects can be detected using the Doppler effect , which causes the received signal to have a different frequency from the transmitted signal ...

    Other innovations were radars with frequency hopping; the P-10 Volga A (NATO: KNIFE REST B) in 1953, radars with transmitter signal coherency and special features like moving target indicator (MTI); the P-12 Yenisei (NATO: SPOON REST) in 1955 as well as the P-70 Lena-M with chirp signal modulation in 1968 [2] or the widely used P-18 Terek (NATO ...

  9. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    A simple calculation reveals that a radar echo will take approximately 10.8 μs to return from a target 1 statute mile away (counting from the leading edge of the transmitter pulse (T 0), (sometimes known as transmitter main bang)). For convenience, these figures may also be expressed as 1 nautical mile in 12.4 μs or 1 kilometre in 6.7 μs.
