A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR SIMULTANEOUS RADAR OBSERVATION OF MULTIPLE TARGETS WITHIN A BROAD SURVEILLANCE REGION,

Abstract

In most present radar systems, targets are detected or observed sequentially. Observation of multiple targets in a large volume of space require either low accuracy and resolution, or long time periods between successive observations. A technique is described which permits the simultaneous observation of multiple targets throughout a large volume of space. In effect, this technique performs a transformation of the real target space into an analogous model space which is directly observable and which preserves the quantitative details of the target parameters. Since the model space is visually displayed without signal detection, optical correlation methods may be employed directly. (Author)
