Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Frequency agility radar can suppress glint noise which appears when the angle of a extended target is measured by monopulse. It is known that selecting large power pulses and averaging the measured angular values give an improved angular estimation because glint noise inevitably accompanies the pulse power degradation. However, glint noise is not the only cause of angular error, and thermal noise and asymmetry of the target also cause angular error. In this manuscript, angular error reduction by applying a threshold to pulse power is theoretically quantified with respect to each of these causes. Consequently, it is predicted that large power pulse selection is effective when the target is far and thermal noise is dominant and it is less effective when the target is near and the asymmetry is dominant. Monte Carlo simulations of angle detection of multi-point targets by frequency agility radar have been performed and results consistent with the theory are derived.
