Radar Systems - Radar Design Project
Instructions
This exercise is intended to be a simulation of abasic radar system design project. It is representative of engineering system design conducted by aerospace/electronics companies to submit proposals to customers who select suppliers via competitive procurement.
Design is defined through mandatory requirements and optional goals. All designs must be compliant i.e., all specification requirements must be met. Where goals are given, these do not have to be met; but favorable consideration is added if the additional goal is met. Variables indicated as TBD in specifications below must be chosen to satisfy requirements and (optionally) goals.
Proposed design should be presented in a MS Excel spreadsheet according to the Template.xlsxworkbook. This workbook must have filled Design choices and Mandatory Results worksheets. All the auxiliary worksheets used to select parameters summarized in the Design choices tab must be included as additional tabs in the Template.xls. The format and number of additional tabs is flexible.
Airborne Pulse Radar Design
Design a conical-scanning radar on a high flying predator drone UAV to provide surveillance of vehicle targets during night and low visibility conditions.
Doppler Measurement Analysis: Assume that the aircraft's ground velocity (relative to non-moving terrain) is known without error, which allows the clutter Doppler to be precisely calculated at any point in the antenna footprint and azimuth scan position. Perform a systems analysis to verify that the target Doppler can be measured in the presence of terrain clutter Doppler (i.e., that they are separable in the frequency domain). This requirement must be verified by analysis using a worst-case scenario for the target speed and direction relative to the radar look direction. This analysis shall be presented in the proposal assuming the following worst-case conditions:
(1) Maximum target speed and relative azimuth of 0° with respect to the radar look direction (approaching the radar)
(2) Maximum target speed and relative azimuth of 180° with respect to the radar look direction
(3) Maximum target speed and relative azimuth of 80° with respect to the radar look direction
(4) 20% max target speed and relative azimuth of 0° with respect to the radar look direction
