Non-coherent radars are only able to obtain range profiles (one-dimensional arrays), whereas coherent radar may obtain range-Doppler images (two-dimensional images).
The coherent radar has three main modes, including pulse Doppler for detecting low level targets in clutter> frequency-agile pulse for detecting high altitude targets out of clutter> and frequency-agile narrow pulse for detecting maritime targets.
Traveling wave tube or klystron amplifiers are used for most coherent radar RF power pulse transmitters.
A number of advanced W-band solid-state coherent radar transceivers have been described and are presently under development.[1-5] These techniques made it possible to generate all the sophisticated waveforms at a frequency of 94 GHz, which was previously only possible at microwave frequencies.
The resultant loss in J/S (jam-to-radar-signal) ratio of the former, due to the dilution of signal power over large bandwidth, and the inability of the latter to replicate coherent radar signals mitigates against their utility to deceive missile seekers.
Coherent radar sources generate the input signals to an EW receiver.
In addition, with the introduction of coherent radars, especially those found in pulse-Doppler fire-control a nd active missile-guidance systems, the simple approach of delaying the radar pulse lost its effectiveness.
