Abstract :
The system considerations and attributes of a short-range surveillance radar are discussed. This security sensor provides a range-gated volumetric intrusion-detection capability. It is designed for fixed installations and mobile resources, both tactical and strategic. The radar operates in the low VHF band, which offers many performance and operational benefits because of whole-body resonance phenomena, nuisance target rejection, and superior propagation characteristics
