Noise modulated multistatic surveillance radar concept

Abstract

Noise modulated surveillance radars have many desirable properties. However, practical problems with signal processing and system design have inhibited noise modulated radars to become common. Fast improving signal processing will probably change this in future. We have studied what kind of noise modulated radar might be realistic in 15 years. Advantages are good LPI, good ECCM, good ARM avoidance, good selectivity and simple mechanical construction [1]. Disadvantage is high signal processing capacity that may become available first after 10 - 15 years.
