    • A multipurpose system provides radar surveillance for air traffic control purposes. The system includes four separate active phased-array antennas, each with .+-.45.degree. coverage in azimuth, from 0.degree. to 60.degree. in elevation. Each antenna element of each phased-array antenna is coupled by a low-loss path to the solid-state amplifier associated with a transmit-receive (TR) module. Each antenna produces a sequence of pencil beams, which requires less transmitted power from the TR modules than a fan beam, but requires more time because the pencil beam must be sequenced to cover the same volume as the fan beam. In order to scan the volume in a short time, the PRF is responsive to the elevation angle of the beam, so higher elevation angles use a higher PRF. Low elevation angle beams receive long transmitter pulses for high power, and pulse compression is used to restore range resolution, but the long pulse results in a large minimum range within which targets cannot be detected. A second scan is provided at low elevation angles with a short transmitter pulse to fill in the short-range coverage. Beams at higher elevation angles transmit pulse widths which are shorter than beams at low elevation angles, so that the minimum range requirement is met without a second scan, which also reduces the time required for volumetric scan. The number of pulses which are integrated to produce a return increases off-axis, to restore system margin lost due to off-axis power gain reduction. The volumetric scan rate is increased by a dynamic scan regimen by which subsets of beams are pulsed with a high transmitter PRF but with a low effective beam PRF to reduce range ambiguity and preserve Doppler resolution without the usual increase of scan time. For best range resolution, Doppler processing is used, with range sidelobe pulse suppression applied separately to each Doppler frequency bin.

    • A radar transmits dispersed pulses in which the subpulses are modulated by first and second mutually complementary code sequences, the autocorrelation functions of which are selected so that, in the sum of their autocorrelation functions, the main range lobes add, and the range sidelobes cancel. The received pulses with their Doppler sidebands are applied to a plurality of channels, each of which (except one) contains a mixer-oscillator combination that removes a specific Doppler phase shift along the range dimension at a different channel frequency. One channel has no mixer-oscillator because it is centered at a zero channel frequency. Within each channel, the received signals modulated by the first and second codes are matched-filtered by filters matched to the first and second codes, respectively, to produce first and second time-compressed pulses, each including (a) a main lobe representing the target range, and (b) undesirable range sidelobes. The first and second time compressed pulses are added together in each channel, to produce range pulses with suppressed range sidelobes. The channel signals, after pulse compression, delay, and addition, are each applied to one channel of a pulse-to-pulse Doppler filter bank. The outputs from the pulse-to-pulse Doppler filter bank are applied for further radar signal processing.

    • A radar system transmits dispersed pulses, and receives echoes from targets. The echo signals are digitized and applied over a number of signal paths. In each signal path except one, the digitized signal is multiplied by one of a plurality of differential exponential signals, for converting the echo signal of different exponential signals, for converting the echo signal in each path to baseband, with the baseband frequency representing a particular Doppler which depends upon the exponential signal. In the one remaining signal path, no multiplier is used, and the echo signal is deemed to be at baseband. The signals in each path are applied through a cascade of a pulse compressor and a range sidelobe suppressor. Since Doppler filtering has not yet taken place, full compression and range sidelobe reduction is not achieved, because of extraneous pulse-to-pulse phase shifts. The signals in each signal path are applied to a filter element of a pulse-to-pulse Doppler filter bank, which removes the extraneous phase shifts, and thereby provides full suppression of the range sidelobes.

    • A radar system includes a doppler/pulse compressor/range sidelobe suppressor filter bank (40), which separates received echo signals according to their frequency spectrum into doppler channels, and within each doppler channel performs pulse compression for reducing the duration of the received signals, and also performs range sidelobe suppression, for improving range resolution. It may be advantageous to perform certain types of processing in the time domain, such as determination of spectral moments for estimating velocity spread, mean closing velocity, and reflectivity of a diffuse target such as a weather phenomenon. An inverse (frequency-to-time) transform (50) is performed on the signals produced by the doppler/pulse compressor/range sidelobe suppressor filter bank (40), to produce a reconstructed version of the received signals. In these reconstructed signals, the pulses are compressed, and range sidelobes are reduced. The time-domain processing (62) is performed on the reconstructed signals. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the range sidelobe suppression and pulse compression filters (34a, 34b . . . ) follow the doppler filters (32), but any ordering of the filters may be used. Interchannel frequency interference attributable to the non-zero bandwidth of the Doppler filters may be reduced by pulse-to-pulse time weighting (30) applied to the received signals over a time window corresponding to a particular dwell, together with inverse weighting (62) following the inverse transformation.
    • 雷达系统包括多普勒/脉冲压缩器/范围旁瓣抑制滤波器组(40),其将接收到的回波信号根据其频谱分离成多普勒通道,并且在每个多普勒通道内执行脉冲压缩以减少接收信号的持续时间, 并且还执行范围旁瓣抑制,以提高范围分辨率。 在时域中执行某些类型的处理可能是有利的,例如确定用于估计速度扩展的频谱力矩,平均关闭速度以及诸如天气现象的漫射目标的反射率。 对由多普勒/脉冲压缩器/范围旁瓣抑制滤波器组(40)产生的信号执行反向(频率 - 时间)变换(50),以产生接收信号的重构版本。 在这些重建信号中,脉冲被压缩,并且范围旁瓣减少。 对重构信号进行时域处理(62)。 在本发明的特定实施例中,范围旁瓣抑制和脉冲压缩滤波器(34a,34b ...)跟随多普勒滤波器(32),但是可以使用滤波器的任何排序。 归因于多普勒滤波器的非零带宽的通道间频率干扰可以通过在对应于特定驻留的时间窗口上应用于接收信号的脉冲到脉冲时间加权(30)以及反加权(62)来减小, 跟随逆变换。
