Abstract

A radar system for altitude determination comprises a pulsed radar transmitter and receiver having means for adjusting the transmitted pulse width and receiver bandwidth as functions of a detectable search/track height, and means for varying the value of a bias factor relating to an equilibrium tracking condition and for varying count boundaries of a status counter for an integration relating to a tracking lock condition as functions of the detected search/track height whereby the sensitivity of the radar system is improved over conventional altimeters at higher altitudes. The tracking loop determines whether the average power detected at a "signal" sample point (which, in the steady state, will be on the leading edge of the echo) exceeds the power at a "noise" sample point by the height-dependent bias factor. The lock indicator monitors power at a further, "status", sample point. <IMAGE>
