Netted Radar Theory and Experiments

In this paper, the performance netted radar is evaluated in terms of the ambiguity function. A three dimensional netted radar ambiguity model has been formulated. A software tool has been developed to assess the netted radar ambiguity and resolution properties. Simulation results show that the degradation of range and Doppler resolution are strongly dependent on system and target geometry. We then introduce the design and realization of an experimental netted radar being developed to explore practical performance. This paper describes the system development, testing and calibration and results of initial field testing.
