ABSTRACT:
A coherent stepped dual-frequency, ocean-wave, spectrometer radar system for measuring the characteristics of ocean-surface gravity waves includes: a transmitter for transmitting in successive steps coherently related pairs of frequencies having different, small, and known frequency separations; a coherent receiver for receiving and separating the radar returns of the stepped pairs of frequencies, a frequency-shifter for offsetting the doppler spectrum of each radar return, a multiplier for multiplying together the two frequencies of each pair for each step to obtain a Bragg resonance condition for each step; and a plurality of stepped detectors each for detecting a different step of said multiplier output.
