Noise Radar Technology

Noise radar technology (NRT) is based on using a continuous (or quasi-continuous) noise signal (CNS) as a sounding one and correlation (or double spectral) processing of reflected radar signals for their optimal reception (matched filtering). NRT shows much promise for the application in the near-field radar and is adequate to the present-day microwave and electronic technologies. There are two types of noise radars. One of them utilizes the correlation processing of reflected signals, and another is based on the so-called double spectral processing. As shown in experiments, NRT can be successfully used by developing radars for various civil applications, e.g. anticollision systems, automated traffic control, obtaining the images by ground-based synthetic aperture radars automated aircraft landing and ship mooring, etc.
