Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a rader device mounted on the aircraft by which the clutter is suppressed so as to detect a target with a small RCS by improving both distance resolution and angle resolution and reducing an irradiation area by clutter competing with the target. CONSTITUTION:A phase modulation is applied to a sending signal and a receiving signal is demodulated by a pulse compressor 13 to generate a narrow pulse, resulting in the improvement of distance resolution. Further, the change in target distance caused by the travelling of an aircraft is compensated by a phase compensation circuit 14 and thereafter the frequency is analized by a frequency analizer 15 to improve the angle resolution, thereby reducing an irradiation area by the clutter competing with the target and improving an S/C ratio.
