Compact S/C-Band RADAR for site protection

Abstract

The article describes technical realization of a compact S/C-band radar for the site protectrion. Nowadays, closed facilities, factories, and energy sector facilities, such as gas / oil pipelines are facing the problem of unauthorized access. The greatest danger in terms of untracked trespassing the border of the protected area in recent years are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Such UAVs allow not only to carry out high-quality photo / video, but also to carry cargo that pose a potential threat to the security of the object. The developed radar system provides all-weather and round-the-clock detection of small mobile targets. The use of the technology of the phase method of measuring the angular coordinates allowed us to remove the moving parts of the radar, significantly increasing its reliability, as well as to increase the service intervals. The use of wideband signals with a large base (quasi-continuous mode) provides increased noise immunity, secrecy and detection range.
