Radar Communications

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA103396 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Means of communicating through a radar without significantly altering its performance are described. A number of design alternatives such as radar type, antennas, transmitters, frequency diversity, message relays, channel allocations, and modems are considered, and recommended communication and radar-intermesh procedures are given. A demonstration radar-communication system under construction is outlined. In addition, ways of effectively using a radar-communication system are explored. Finally, a planned demonstration of the communication of surveillance-radar data between two sites on the Chesapeake Bay using radar communication is described.
