  2. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

    Pulse-Doppler radar was developed during World War II to overcome limitations by increasing pulse repetition frequency. This required the development of the klystron , the traveling wave tube , and solid state devices.

  3. Pulse-repetition frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-repetition_frequency

    The pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) is the number of pulses of a repeating signal in a specific time unit. The term is used within a number of technical disciplines, notably radar. In radar, a radio signal of a particular carrier frequency is turned on and off; the term "frequency" refers to the carrier, while the PRF refers to the number of ...

    Radar transmission frequency spectrum of a trapezoid pulse profile Recent advances in signal processing techniques have made the use of pulse profiling or shaping more common. By shaping the pulse envelope before it is applied to the transmitting device, say to a cosine law or a trapezoid, the bandwidth can be limited at source, with less ...

    The radar's frequency, pulse form, polarization, signal processing, and antenna determine what it can observe. If electromagnetic waves travelling through one material meet another material, having a different dielectric constant or diamagnetic constant from the first, the waves will reflect or scatter from the boundary between the materials.

  6. List of radar types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radar_types

    Ships and planes are metal, and reflect radio waves. The radar measures the distance to the reflector by measuring the time of the round trip from emission of a pulse to reception, dividing this by two, and then multiplying by the speed of light. To be accepted, the received pulse has to lie within a period of time called the range gate. The ...

  7. Pulsed radiofrequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_radiofrequency

    The duty cycle for a pulsed radio frequency is the percent time the RF packet is on, 4.2% for this example ([0.042 ms × 1000 pulses divided by 1000 ms/s] × 100). The pulse packet form can be a square, triangle, sawtooth or sine wave. [1] In several applications of pulse radio frequency, such as radar, [2] times between pulses can be modulated.

  8. Pulse-Doppler signal processing - Wikipedia

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

    Pulse Doppler radar may have 50 or more pulses between the radar and the reflector. Pulse Doppler relies on medium pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from about 3 kHz to 30 kHz. Each transmit pulse is separated by 5 km to 50 km distance. Range and speed of the target are folded by a modulo operation produced by the sampling process. True range is ...

    Pulse-Doppler radar sensors are therefore more suited for long-range detection, while FMCW radar sensors are more suited for short-range detection. Monopulse : A monopulse feed network, as shown in Fig. 2, increases the angular accuracy to a fraction of the beamwidth by comparing echoes, which originate from a single radiated pulse and which ...
