Abstract :
This paper describes the architecture of an adaptive multimodal radar sensor that is capable of progressively varying its range resolution depending upon the target scattering features. It consists of a test-bed that will enable the generation of linear frequency modulated waveforms of various bandwidths. This paper discusses the design of the radar and the experimental results obtained from field testing.
