Title:
RADAR SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/001141
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
There is discussed a radar system and method of imaging the location of an object of interest in a displayed co-ordinate system. The method involves moving a platform at a known velocity along a known path, the platform conveying a radar irradiating a field of view with an interrogation signal and detecting a signal comprising a reflection of the interrogation signal, wherein said field of view moves with the movement of the platform. For a plurality of positions of the platform, the detected signal is processed to determine range information and azimuth information for an object of interest, said azimuth information being determined from a Doppler information from said reflection of the interrogation signal off the object of interest, and a plurality of candidate location co-ordinates in the displayed co-ordinate system are determined from the range information and the azimuth information. The candidate location co-ordinates are combined to generate display data for displaying the location of the object of interest.
