Ensuring the secrecy of the radar

The article deals with the issue of stealth of radio-electronic means, energy and structural, radio-electronic masking and ways of its implementation. The structure of the unknown signal for exploration and its parameters, as well as the a posteriori probability of each signal associated with the a priori likelihood function and the cases of its solution. The advantages and disadvantages of broadband signals and their characteristics used in modern radars are considered. On the basis of which conclusions are drawn: LFM radio pulse and a single FCM pulse, used in target tracking modes, has high resolution capabilities in range and radial velocity. The ACF of the FCM pulse has side lobes that raise the target detection threshold, as a result of which radar targets with a weak echo signal can be missed. The considered signals do not provide energy and structural stealth of the radar operation.
