Abstract

Radar systems are used to detect, locate and identify targets. Ultra Short Pulse Radar (USPR) i.e. Ultra Wide Band Radar (UWBR) provides potential advantage over conventional narrow band Radars. One of its main advantages over conventional radar is spatial resolution. With normal radar it is not possible to spot electromagnetically bright points within target, but it is possible with ultra short pulse or UWBR. Due to narrow pulse it is possible to resolve the target within itself. We have developed Ultra Short Pulse Radar operating around 4.5 GHz. With the help of this USPR it has been tried to show that when we are working with ultra short pulse we can improve spatial resolution and resolve the target within itself.
