APPLICATION OF

RADAR
Modern radar system

Introduction
A radar is used for detecting stationary /moving

object and analyzes the reflection.

There are many forms of radar such as doppler ,
ground penetration.
In DSP at transmitter end it generates and
shapes the transmission pulse, controls the
anntena beam pattern.
At receiver , DSP perfoms many complex tasks ,
including STAP(space time adaptive processing)
the removal of clutter and beam forming
(electronic guidance of direction).

IMPORTANT PARAMETERS
OF MODERN RADAR
SYSTEM.

Antenna beamwidth

Range

Doppler filtering

Range resolution.

SIGNAL DESIGN
Transmitting narrow pulse provides good

range but poor velocity measurement.

A wide pulse of signal frequency gives good
velocity but bad range information.
