Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar Coverage—Determinant Factors

Robust adaptive beamforming for MIMO monopulse radar

Researchers have recently proposed a widely separated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar using monopulse angle estimation techniques for target tracking. The widely separated antennas provide improved tracking performance by mitigating complex target radar cross-section fades and angle scintillation. An adaptive array is necessary in this paradigm because the direct path from any trans...

Front-End Processing for Monopulse Doppler Radar

FEPMR is standing for Front-End and Doppler Processing for Monopulse Doppler Radar. It is a PCB at the frontier between the RF and the Digital Circuits for the radar AXIR. There are four channels, corresponding to the four squinted beams of the antenna ( Right, Left, Up and Down ). Each beam channel is processed in phase (I) and quadrature ( Q) real baseband signals. The eight video analog sign...

Adaptive Binary Integration CFAR Processing for Secondary Surveillance Radar

In this paper we study some standard problems of SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar), relating to improving the detection performance of the conventional SSR and Mode S replies in SSR FRUIT environment. We present the algorithm that consists of a conventional two-dimensional CFAR BI processor combined with the estimator of the FRUIT parameters, which is necessary for automatic selecting of the a...
