Abstract :
Coherent random noise radar technology has been implemented successfully in buried object detection, Doppler estimation, SAR imaging, and ISAR imaging. These applications verified the desirable characteristics of random noise radar for stationary target applications. Since the system is phase coherent, we have demonstrated that it can be used for radar interferometry. We are currently developing a random noise monopulse system for angular tracking of moving targets in real time. This paper provides a preliminary analysis of compatibility of random noise radar with conventional phase-comparison monopulse.
