Abstract

A review is given of recent activities undertaken in the Institute of radio astronomy of the National academy of sciences of Ukraine for the development of high-resolution radars. The radars developed include 95 and 36 GHz cloud radars and an airborne, K_u-band SAR radar system. They are capable to perform real-time, high-resolution measurements. The set-up of these instruments, the novel technical solutions, and the signal processing technique introduced are discussed. The results obtained with such instruments during measurement campaigns are presented as well.
