Abstract :
A recently developed radar system using a c.w. microwave noise spectrum from an impatt oscillator as the transmitted signal has shown useful performance. The application of a digital correlator to measure, essentially in real time, the autocorrelation function of the noise spectrum and provide a radar display of targets at ranges of up to at least 1 km is now described.
