SPREAD SPECTRUM RADAR FOR TARGET CHARACTERIZATION
ABSTRACT
Target detection and characterization are a very important aspect of any surveillance and defense. Therefore, the development of a suitable radar system with proper signal processing algorithms is the need of the hour. Requirements of the sophisticated radar come into play because of the fact that radar system performance is greatly affected by the noisy environment, multipath channel and surrounding clutter condition. The main objective of this study is to develop a secure RADAR system based on the spread spectrum technology. As we know that, in an open environment, radar faces many challenges, and to encounter those challenges digital spread spectrums radar system has been introduced and the performance has been analyzed. Here the performance of the radar system has been analyzed with respect to the theoretical calculation and experimental results as presented here. In this study, the target has been characterized based on the radar cross section (RCS) pattern plot.
