Abstract:

A new IF processing technique for obtaining directional doppler ranging is presented. This technique does not require a specific type of frequency modulation waveform such as a sawtooth but may be used with any practical FM waveform. Examples of measured directional doppler range responses are shown for both a summing circuit and a product circuit for obtaining the directional range law from two quadrature doppler channels.
