THE 'DOUBLE THRESHOLD' RADAR RECEIVER FOR REDUCTION OF FALSE TARGETS CAUSED BY INTERFERING PULSES

Abstract

The development of automatic radar detection systems have focused attention on the effects of the interfering pulses from other radars on the performance of a radar receiver. It is essential to the successful performance of an automatic system that the false indications caused by interference be almost completely suppressed. This paper is a mathematical investigation of one type of radar receiver which discriminates against false target indications. A double threshold radar receiver is found to be capable of controlling the false target interference. The double threshold receiver is shown to have a slightly lower radar range capability than a normal receiver.
