Doppler Processor Rejection of Range Ambiguous Clutter

Doppler processors are used in radar to separate target returns from clutter. When the clutter is at a range farther than the unambiguous range of the radar, the ability to reject the clutter is degraded. In this article the degradation is analyzed for an N-pulse batch processor with Dolph weighting, and the results show how degradation varies with design sidelobe level.     

A Practical Distribution-Free Detection Procedure for Multiple-Range-Bin Radars

A distribution-free detection procedure for a multiplerange-bin radar is described. This procedure is based on the ranks of observations, but does not require elaborate equipment for rapidly ranking large amounts of data. Proposed equipment is described and analysis and results are given comparing this new procedure with certain practical (nondistribution-free) procedures. Comparisons with some "best" theoretical procedures are also given.     

A Digital Open-Loop Adaptive Processor

A new technique for adaptive processing applications, which is superior to the conventional Applebaum-Howells adaptive loop, is presented. The new technique is based on open-loop digital processing and does not have the limitations of the conventional closedloop analog processor. In contrast with the conventional adaptive loop, the open-loop processor has effectively infinite gain, is unconditionally stable, and does not depend on the power level of the auxiliary signal.     

A Bound on Processor Gain

In data transmission systems using electromagnetic propagation there is often interest in the antijam capability of the system and the probability that the transmitted signal can be intercepted. It is shown that, neglecting antenna gain, both of these are adequately described by the processor gain. An information theoretic bound is given for the processor gain and the performance of several conventional signaling systems is indicated. Improvement using forward error correction is also investigated.     

Distribution-Free Processors Based on the Theory of Runs

This correspondence describes distribution-free processors based on the theory of runs. No assumption about either the functional form of the distribution of noise or the nature of its distribution is made. Hence the processors described are expected to yield constant false alarm (CFA) irrespective of the nature of noise encountered in the system.

CAVORT: A Radar Pulse Train Optimum Processor for Accelerating Targets

The CAVORT analog radar signal processor for matched filtering of coherent pulse trains from targets displaying significant radial acceleration is described. CAVORT employs a scanning technique to search repeatedly through trial pairs of values for Doppler and Doppler rate. When a target appears, it is detected, and the best-fitting pair of values determined. The principle of operation is illustrated, using photographs of waveforms generated by the equipment. The resuilts of satellite observations are included. It is demonstrated that the experimental CAVORT which integrates half-second segments of signal gives satisfactory estimates of acceleration.     

The DFTSD: A Sequential Suboptimum Processor for Multiple-Range-Bin Radar Systems

A class of simple and efficient digital sequential detectors is presented, which are particularly suitable for application to radar systems where the antenna dwell time is easily varied. A methematical method, based on the random walk model, is developed to evaluate the DFTSD (digital fixed-thresholds sequential detector) performance. The DFTSD has a loss of 0.2 to 0.3 dB with respect to the digital SPRT (sequential probability ratio test) in the case of a single-range-bin system. Finally, results for the multiple-range-bin case are presented and compared with the performance of a moving-window detector.

Susan: A New Doppler Radionavigation System

SUSAN is a novel electronic Doppler navigation system which can be used with moving vehicles including aircraft, missiles, satellites, and ships. The system uses a technique of time delays and frequency multiplication to determine the rates of change of the Doppler frequency component present on a signal received from a moving vehicle. From this information the range and velocity of the vehicle can be determined with respect to a transmitting station whose position or ephemeris is known.     

A Unique Digital Doppler Ambiguity Resolution Technique

This correspondence describes a unique digital Doppler ambiguity resolution technique for a pulsed S-band radar. Whereas conventional methods of resolving ambiguities employ various curve fitting schemes in which the best differentiated range curve fit is compared with the Doppler derived velocity, the method described here uses the opposite approach, i.e., the Doppler derived velocity is integrated and compared with the range change over the integrating interval. The integrating approach offers the following advantages over conventional curve fitting. 1) There are no lag errors due to velocity changes, other than tracker lag induced by jerk. 2) No large storage of past data points and their weighting Constants must be implemented.

A Semicoherent Detection and Doppler Estimation Statistic

Consider a uniform train of M coherent short pulses transmitted by a radar and received with a Doppler shift. When thermal noise is present, let the mth sample of the return at the video be represented by the complex process Zm. A novel detection and Doppler estimation criterion is analyzed which depends on the semicoherent statistic begin{equation*}{Z_{K}}^prime = sum_{m=k+1}^{M} {^{z}m^{z}m-k}^{ *}end{equation*} where the asterisk stands for complex conjugate. Its characteristics are also studied when the real and imaginary parts of Zm are digitized to one bit.

A baseband Doppler simulator for radar system development

Elementary electronics building blocks can be configured as a low-cost baseband Doppler simulator for developing the post-detector processing parts such as MTIs and MTDS of millimeter wave pulsed radars employing amplitude and phase channels. The challenge of narrow pulses in conjunction to low Doppler frequencies is handled here by CMOS switches and normal function generator ICs. Test noise is generated with an off-the-shelf radio RF/IF circuit. Wideband video amplifiers are not required. Typical performance figures include pulse widths from 50 ns, target ranges from 0 to ambiguity maximum, target velocities from 0.5 m/s to 500 m/s and PRFs up to 100 kflz. Virtual target RCS can be adjusted as needed in a straightforward way.
