ABSTRACT:
This radar incorporates a single channel, two-dimensional correlator, providing simultaneous correlation in the range/doppler plane. In conventional radar processors, separate channels are used to measure range and doppler. Range track is normally established first and the range signal is then used to enable, or correlate with the doppler channel. In this invention, this correlation is performed simultaneously in a single channel and truly represents the combined ambiguity function, rather than an attempt to merge two separate ambiguity functions. A purely random sequence of binary bits (+1 and -1's) is used to control the phase of each segment in the transmitted signal (either pulse or CW) as opposed to systems using pseudo-random sequences generated by various means such as linear shift register generators. A digital random number generator is used to produce a set of purely random numbers which, when applied to a rule, generates a random sequence of binary bits, plus or minus 1's (.+-.1's), which is used to bi-phase modulate the carrier frequency. The rule used is: if n(i).gtoreq.0.5, then p=1; if n(i)<0.5, then p=-1; and p=a random sequence of + or -1's (ones). The resulting phase modulated signal is amplified and sent to the transmit antenna.
