  • Patent number: 4201986
    Abstract: A radar equipment operating with a continuous or virtually continuous wave. The radar equipment is provided with a transmitter/receiver assembly. The transmitter is formed by an oscillator stage whose frequency can be modulated. The oscillator stage is associated with a power amplifier stage. The receiver is of the multi-channel super-heterodyne type enabling an echo of a target to be tracked directionally. The transmitter/receiver assembly is capable of operating in two separate modes, namely a first mode in which the transmitted carrier wave F.sub.o is frequency modulated linearly over a range .DELTA.F, and a second mode in which the carrier wave is pure. The transmitter is provided with a sawtooth pattern signal modulator, the oscillator stage being modulated in operation by the sawtooth signal having a repetition period T.sub.R. The receiver is provided with at least one amplification channel having a final pass band substantially equal to the reciprocal of period T.sub.
