Abstract :
In this study a planner array with beam forming and beam shaping techniques are designed in order to develop and simulate 3D simultaneous - multi-beams (3DSMB) radar. Two targets are obtained, firstly developing 3D radar with 4 simultaneous-pencil beams, secondly, developing 3D with 4 simultaneous-different beams, such as Pencil, Fan, Transmit, and Intermediate beams. The new development in this paper provides in conjunction with enhanced processing techniques superior innovative war-fighting solutions to the dramatic change in the nature of threats (i.e. Missile, Anti Radar Missile, Jammers, and heavy clutter). A new software package is developed for the 3DSMB Radar in order to obtain the lobbing pattern coverage for a complex topography, because the previous studies didn´t obtain the lobbing pattern for the 3D radar. Also, the cost will be much cheaper for the new mentioned development because instead of using different radars for different tasks and different targets platforms, the new development will be one radar processing different tasks and different targets platform at the same time, in addition to minimizing size and increasing processing speed and saving processing time.
