Abstract :
An airship sparse array antenna radar system is investigated in this paper. The performance of the sparse array antenna is compared to the conventional dense array antenna. Ground moving target indication (GMTI) and real aperture radar (RAR) imaging mode are discussed. Some important parameters such as resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of airship radar system are studied to prove the feasibility of the airship-mounted radar system.
