ISTANBUL UNIVERSITY – YEAR : 2003 (983-986) JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING VOLUME : 3 NUMBER : 2 MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Osman YILDIRIM Hava Harp Okulu Elektronik Mühendisliği Bölüm Başkanlığı 34807 Yeşi1yurt/ISTANBUL E-mail: o.yildirim@hho.edu.tr ABSTRACT This study addresses the design considerations of an air to ground millimeter wave radar (seeker). Briefly, all major aspects such as seeker components, required mathematical formulation, system parameters, signal processing is included. Millim eter wave radars are currently being used in military applications as airborne millimeter wave radar and ground based radar to provide air-to-air, air-to-ground, ground-to-air, ground-to-ground operations. We all focused to reveal design parameter of active seekers that are called as a military weapon. After a detail analysis it was concluded that the transmission frequency of 35 GHz is most suitable for this application. The transmitted power is reduced to 25 Watts without reducing the performance of the system. Keywords: Airborne Radar, Ground-Based Radar, Millimeter Waves, Design Parameters 1. INTRODUCTION Radar technology has many applications such as Historically, the principles of radar were first research radars, military radars. According to the given by H. Hertz in the late nineteenth century.
