RADAR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING OPTIMIZED TARGET RESOLUTION FOR SHORT-RANGE TARGET AND LONG RANGE TARGET

摘要

Radar system providing optimized target resolution of both short and long range targets including a receiver-transmitter (43) which transmits short pulses interspersed with long pulses. An analog-to-digital converter (44) converts the video signals corresponding to target returns from consecutive pulse transmission to digital format. The digitized target returns are integrated in an integrator (46) except that the digitized target returns from targets within a first range resulting from long pulse transmissions are not used for integration.
