Improving efficiency of radar observations of navigation situation in ice radars under strong interference

The article considers the specific features of radar observations surrounding navigation situation in ice radars (IR) polar latitudes and reasons their possible decreasing effectiveness. There is described a negative effect radio waves received by IR due to reflection from hydrometeorological formations that occupy large area scanned space. ways improving operation creating necessary conditions are analyzed. It has been inferred case observing small-sized objects against background strong extended interference, digital processing data slightly improves functioning locators. found out order improve detecting small targets measuring parameters, it ensure safety overload caused interference at stage primary information (before using filter). structure device proposed, which allows not only partial weakening operation, but also suppressing this interference. stated locator noise immunity during its achieved additional blocks composition quickly detect short-term pulses processed signal convert them into form almost completely compensate for continuous method mathematical modeling used study effectiveness proposed signal-to-noise ratio it, reaction time, signals after processing. According analysis results experiment there have made conclusions about lack factors limiting possibility as part optimal variant implementation.
