Abstract :
A simple Doppler radar with tracking capability has been implemented using the active antenna concept. The performance of the radar has been measured and found to be reasonable. If the free-running oscillating signals and the injection signal can be synchronized to produce an FM signal, the antenna main beam will be maintained at broadside and the system is then capable of ranging as well.
