EAGLE-a high accuracy 35 GHz tracking radar

Abstract

The EAGLE tracking radar family is discussed. EAGLE is a fully coherent tracking radar operating in the 35-GHz band. The radar is unique in the way it combines pulse-to-pulse frequency agility and MTI filtering in a single transmission scheme. A brief comparison of different radar bands is given, and the EAGLE radar, along with its characteristics and techniques is discussed. Test results obtained during field trials are presented. The possibility of using the EAGLE radar for NCTR (noncooperative target recognition) by using a high range resolution mode in the radar is described.<>
