Abstract: The invention relates to a radar system comprising a transmitter with a periodically tunable HF-transmitter tube, as a magnetron with rotating tuning body, and a receiver with a mixing stage, in which echo pulses caused by transmitted radar pulses are mixed with the output signal from a local oscillator, whose frequency can be controlled. During transmission the tuning frequency of the transmitter tube is varied periodically and in an interval before triggering the local oscillator is "slaved" to the transmitter tube, so that the local oscillator frequency follows the variations in the tuning frequency. In the triggering moment the local oscillator is locked in frequency to the value prevailing in the triggering moment. According to the invention this system is combined with a frequency predicting circuit, which mainly consists of a comparator.
