Abstract :
Magnetron-based, low-cost marine radar was modified. In the transmitter the pulse repetition interval (PRI) was coded periodically. In the receiver a "coherent-on-receive" detection option was added. The coding allows extension of the unambiguous delay (range) beyond the nominal PRI. The added option of coherence allows comparison between coherent and non-coherent integration of many pulses. Experimental results are presented.
