A study on S-band short-range surveillance radar optimum deployment considering frequency interference

Abstract

Inter-radar interference can cause the important impact to the radar detection performance because radar operates with high transmitter power, sensitive receiver and wideband. Because short-range surveillance radar is deployed rather close to each other, inter-radar interference is more critical. In this paper, the international criteria for radar interference protection is reviewed based on the ITU-R and NTIA documents, and the radar analysis is presented by taking into account the S-band short-range surveillance radar operating environments. Finally, S-band short-range surveillance radar optimum deployment is presented with the interference impact analysis. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
