Surface clutter due to antenna sidelobes for spaceborne atmospheric radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
A spaceborne radar for atmospheric observation must be able to detect atmospheric backscatter in the presence of clutter due to antenna sidelobes. Here, we analyze the problem in detail, deriving a method for computing clutter which includes effects of all contributing transmit pulses, Doppler shifting, finite receiver bandwidth, and curved earth's surface. The results are applied to analysis of existing radars and design of future radar systems.

Effect of Curved Path Monopulse Radar Platform’s Grazing Angle on Height of Floated Targets Detection
Monopulse radarsare one of the most accurate tracking radars used to guide various platforms. Detection and tracking of surface targets with these radars are performed in order to point strike targets. Sea clutter presents challenges for detecting floated targets and in addition to affecting detection height, it can cause errors in monopulse angle finding. In this paper, the airborne monopulse ...
متن کاملMultichannel surface clutter suppression: East Antarctica P-band SAR ice sounding in the presence of grating lobes
Ice sounding with radar is a well-established technique for the retrieval of ice depth, and provides information on ice structures and layering. Airborne radar ice sounders suffer from off-nadir surface clutter that masks the signal from bedrock and ice layers with unwanted but simultaneously received surface reflections. This is of importance for future satellite ice-sounding missions, as the ...

The concept of radar satellite constellations has been proposed in the literature and is currently under research. These constellations possess the wide angular coverage necessary for performing spaceborne MTI and the spatial sampling necessary for wide-area SAR. However, the constellations form arrays that are sparsely populated, three-dimensional, and irregularly spaced. Therefore, current SA...

Last decade has seen the development of slotted-array antenna as they are the most preferred missile antenna, as they offer several significant advantages such as thin profile, light weight and ease of stabilisation. To achieve high speed tracking accuracies within fraction of a beam width, monopulse antenna is the chosen configuration. For look-down mode applications, aperture distributions ca...
متن کاملطراحی SLB با استفاده از چند آنتن کمکی و رویکرد تئوری آشکارسازی
Sidelobe blanking (SLB) is a technique employed in radar signal processing to inhibit detection when an unwanted signal enters the radar receiver through antenna sidelobes. For this purpose, an auxiliary antenna and receiver channel are used in the radar system. Comparing the main antenna and auxiliary antenna signal strength, a decision is made for blanking the main channel output. In this pap...
