Ultrawideband multisite radar systems: peculiarities of target detection, resolution and coordinate measurement

Because target radial dimensions are, as a rule, much larger than a range resolution cell of ultrawideband (UWB) radars, each radar receives the so called "range profile" of a target. Target detection, resolution and coordinate measurement of such targets significantly differ from the corresponding procedures for narrowband multisite radar systems (MSRSs) and have not been sufficiently discussed in known literature. These important peculiarities are considered. Noticeable advantages of UWB MSRSs have been shown when range profiles of a target may be expected to be equal with respect to all radars
