Analysis of detection capabilities of CW-FM and pulse radar

NSC 34 and the prototype device of the Industrial Institute of Telecommunications designated CRM200, which uses the CW-FM technique, as well as two radar devices intended for small vessels: Raytheon R20XX and Northstar. Currently, radars using frequency modulation of a signal generated on a continuous wave (FM-CW) are being introduced. These radars are currently being tested at the Gdynia Maritime University. These radars emit a low-amplitude signal and are currently offered for small vessels and ships engaged in inland navigation. Research is also being conducted (also at the Gdynia Maritime University) on prototypes intended for seagoing vessels. This study will compare these devices with the pulse radars currently in use.
2. OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF A CONTINUOUS WAVE RADAR
A navigation radar operating in pulse mode sends a signal with a very high amplitude, which adversely affects organisms and may also interfere with other radiocommunication systems. Therefore, new solutions are being sought. (…)
