Fundamentals of Signal Processing for Phased Array Radar

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA471141 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This section gives a short survey of the principles and the terminology of phased array radar. Beamforming, radar detection and parameter estimation are described. The concept of subarrays and monopulse estimation with arbitrary subarrays is developed. As a preparation to adaptive beam forming, which is treated in several other sections, the topic of pattern shaping by deterministic weighting is presented in more detail.
