Abstract :
This paper describes a new approach to marine radar design. New IMO regulations allow marine radars to be designed with solid state transmitter power amplifiers using pulse compression waveforms and coherent Doppler processing. This gives a new flexibility and better possibilities to control the transmitter spectrum. The modular system design applies to waveform generation, signal processing and RF hardware.
