  • Patent number: 5606324
    Abstract: A radar system having a transmitter for transmitting a series of radio frequency (RF) pulses with sequential, incrementally changing carrier frequencies. A receiver receives energy from multiple scattering points of an object reflecting such transmitted RF pulses. The received energy from each one of such scattering points includes a series of radio frequency (RF) pulses corresponding to the transmitted pulses delayed in time, .tau., from the transmitted pulses an amount proportional to the range to such scattering point and shifted in frequency from the carrier frequency an amount proportional to the velocity of such scattering point. The receiver includes a heterodyning section, responsive to a range tracking error signal, .epsilon..sub.R, and a velocity tracking error signal, .DELTA..sub.VEL, for producing a series of pulsed signals for each one of the scattering points. Each one of the pulsed signals for any given scatterer sequentially changes in phase, .phi., at a rate, .DELTA..phi./.DELTA.
