  • Abstract
    The paper considers a novel radar system concept for space debris detection based on a reflector antenna and utilizing digital beam-forming techniques. The main operational principles of the system are discussed. First, a classical radar system and its performance aspects are considered. Then in terms of the considered aspects, the performance enhancements of the novel digital beam-forming radar are demonstrated.
