  • Quiet radar method and apparatus
    Publication number: 20010015699
    Abstract: A random signal radar unit transmits a variable signal modulated by random noise (at 41). The return signal from the target area is correlated (at 61) with a sample of the transmitted signal, effectively compressing the spread spectrum waveform into a narrow band signal. The result is a covert high resolution radar which can be instrumented to operate in a number of single-or multi-mode configurations. By randomly varying biphase modulation (at 41, 35) and by down beating (at 49) the echo signal with the modulation delayed by a time equivalent to that of a leakage delay, a random signal is produced (at 35, 39) in which leakage return signals are readily filtered (at 53, 59).
