Abstract :
In this paper we describe the development of a low cost, high power coherent-on-receiver radar. The unit has a 25kW peak transmit power and is capable of accurately measuring velocity as well as range. The design of the radar is optimized for marine surveillance, although the techniques developed have general application. The radar system is validated through a series of tests that culminate with sea surface measurements.
