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:

    The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him. When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
