<p>Described is a pulse radar apparatus having a repetition period containing m wobbles. The pulse radar apparatus is provided with: a transmitting an receiving unit (2), whereby the received target echoes are sampled and digitised; an n-point DFT processing unit (3); a threshold circuit (4); and a cluster combiner circuit (5) comprising means to form a cluster covering one single target using the signals obtained from the threshold circuit (4). Due to the wobbles, additional information arises in the DFT spectra: From the range, azimuth, local maximum values of the DFT spectrum and the associated output channel number of the DFT processing unit (3), a classification unit (6) determines whether a target is a multiple-time-around target. The classification unit (6) is also able to determine the target doppler frequency, even if this frequency exceeds the average pulse reptition frequency.</p> |
