Cohering a pulse train in magnetron oscillator

Abstract

The goal of this research is to sample and process the measured data which has been collected mono-statically using a Marine Radar. This class of Radar is commonly used aboard vessels for obstacle avoidance and situational awareness. Therefore, marine radars use non-coherent radio wave signals, and hence, are inherently incompatible for imaging applications. In this research, non-coherent signals are made by cohering transmit and scattered waveforms. These “pseudo-coherent” waveforms can be used for many purposes, such as Tomography. In general, the aim of this research is provide coherent technology using affordable marine radars.
