CONTINUOUS WAVE RADARS–MONOSTATIC, MULTISTATIC AND NETWORK

  • Conference paper
Advances in Sensing with Security Applications

Part of the book series: NATO Security Through Science Series ((NASTA,volume 2))

Abstract

Radar technology was designed to increase public safety on sea and in the air. Today radars are used in many .elds of application, such as airdefense, air-tra.c-control, zone protection (in military bases, airports, industry), people search and others. Classic pulse radars are often being replaced by continuous wave radars. Unique features of continuous wave radars, such as the lack of ambiguity, very low transmitted power and good electromagnetic compatibility with other radio-devices, enhance this trend. This chapter presents the theoretical background of continuous wave radar signal processing (for FMCW and noise radars), highlights the most important features of this type of radar and shows their abilities in the field of security.
