Pulse-Doppler Radar - Signal Processing

Signal Processing

The signal processing enhancement of pulse-Doppler allows small high-speed objects to be detected in close proximity to large slow moving reflectors. To achieve this, the transmitter must be coherent and should produce low phase noise during the detection interval, and the receiver must have large instantaneous dynamic range.

  • Pulse-Doppler signal processing detailed explanation

Pulse-Doppler signal processing also includes ambiguity resolution to identify true range and velocity.

  • Ambiguity resolution detailed explanation

The received signals from multiple PRF are compared to determine true range using the range ambiguity resolution process.

  • Range ambiguity resolution detailed explanation

The received signals are also compared using the frequency ambiguity resolution process.

Famous quotes containing the word signal:

    Perhaps having built a barricade when you’re sixteen provides you with a sort of safety rail. If you’ve once taken part in building one, even inadvertently, doesn’t its usually latent image reappear like a warning signal whenever you’re tempted to join the police, or support any manifestation of Law and Order?
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)
