A Study on Evaluation Detection Performance of HF Surface Wave Radar

Abstract

Different from the conventional microwave radar, HF radar working environment is terrible. There are many factors effect on the detection performance, and most of them associated with the radar operating frequency, so it's very important to select a proper operating frequency for HF radar. Based on the radar equation, detailed analysis of factors which associated with the performance of radar is showed, including the radar parameters, environmental parameters and target characteristics.
