  • Radar system for manmade device detection and discrimination from clutter
    Patent number: 7830299
    Abstract: A radar system for detecting the presence of threat providing electronic manmade devices placed in a given area of operation comprising: a radar transmitter for transmitting a radar signal designated as a probe signal to the given area of operation to cause said threat providing devices to produce anomalous energy signals, a radar receiver for receiving a reflected radar signal from said area of operation including said anomalous energy signals, designated as Target Anomalous Response (TAR) signals, a circuit responsive to the received signal for processing the signal to detect the (TAR) anomalous energy signals indicative of a threat producing device.
