| Abstract: | Radar transmitters characteristically generate broadband noise sidebands 1] over the entire tunable frequency band of the system for the duration of the transmitted pulse. The noise will be backscattered over a substantial range interval. In certain circumstaces, this bistatic reflection of ground clutter emerges as the predominant mode of interference between adjacent radars operating in common bands. Closed form mathematical expressions are derived which relate this mutual interference to the system noise temperature. These results in turn are applied to a typical S-band radar. |
