MAGNETIC DRUM STORAGE CROSSCORRELATION RADAR

Abstract

A radar system has been developed which promises to extend very greatly the range and detection capabilities of future radar sets. The basic concept of this radar, which was developed under Project Madre, employs crosscorrelation tech niques coupled with a magnetic drum storage system and a single sweeping filter. The opera tion of the system is such that it integrates signals over a period of twenty seconds, result ing in a theoretical signal-to- noise ratio im provem 33 decibels. A group of components is being developed to form the major portion of a research radar which has been designed to evalu ate the underlying concepts involved. Several optimal modes of system operation are provided for by the system. (Author)
