<p>A coherent radar detection system (2) comprises a radar signal transmitter (4) and a correlation receiver (6). The transmitter (4) comprises a waveform generator which generates a signal at an intermediate frequency. The signal is divided into two divided signals by a coupler, and then the divided signals are mixed together in a mixer to generate an output signal which has a wider bandwidth than the intermediate frequency. The bandwidth can be increased further by repeating the coupler/mixer stage. The system generates very wide bandwidth signals coherently, allowing coherent processing in high resolution range gates.</p> |
