  • Radar systems
    Patent number: 11555909
    Abstract: A radar system for air volume surveillance, the radar having a transmitter and receiver with separate antennas. The receiver aperture being relatively large compared with the transmitter aperture such that the receiving beam is narrower than the transmitting beam, which itself is relatively small compared with the volume to be surveyed. Multiple receiving beams can be configured so that collectively they substantially match the angular volume of the transmitting beam; and in which the transmitter is arranged, when operating, to transmit a signal with a duty cycle greater than fifty percent.
    Type: Grant
