Abstract:
A silent radar system which detects a target and its position without the countermeasure operator located at the target being able to detect the presence of the radar. The silent radar operates by transmitting signals with specific characteristics which allow optimum processing by the radar while taking advantage of the limitations inherent in typical signal receiving equipment. The silent radar transmits low energy per cycle signals which are wideband, purely random noise, e. g. spread spectrum signals.
