Abstract
The results of development and experimental research of L band noise radar with the synthesized spectrum of sounding signal are presented. Behavior of a synthesized noise signal phase has been studied in case of stepped frequency. Besides, we have investigated the basic radar performance such as, spectral characteristics of probing signal, its central frequency switching time, output signal of quadrature detector, range profile, etc. Possibility of range limitation is experimentally shown in the required observation area jointly with selection and measuring of the target distance within this area when using sounding noise signals with the synthesized spectrum.
KEY WORDS: noise radar, noise sounding signal, frequency modulation, hopping frequency, synthesized spectrum
