ABSTRACT:
A weather radar for detecting taxi obstacles has a transmitter for transmitting intermixed short-range pulses to detect short-range stationary objects and longer-range Doppler pulses to detect long-range moving targets. A receiver receives short-range return pulses from the short-range stationary objects and longer-range Doppler return pulses from the long-range moving targets. A processor is connected to the transmitter and receiver for generating the intermixed short-range pulses and longer-range Doppler pulses and for processing short-range return pulses and longer-range Doppler return pulses. A display displays detected short-range stationary objects and longer-range moving targets.
