    Turbine and propeller modulations are part of the radar target processing on Air Defense Radars. You can see Russian Bear bomber propellers at max Doppler range. The bomber itself needs to get closer before the Doppler tracker locks-on to it. But we also had pulse radar that saw the bombers if they were high enough (Beyond the Horizon) at twice the range of the Doppler radar.

    • @jonkraft
      @jonkraft 11 дней назад

      Thanks! Assuming you mean improve range to 400m to see this small 249g drone. Two things need to be improved: improve the hardware and improve the signal processing. Hardware can be improved via that range equation from the first video. i.e. more Tx power, more directive antennas, etc. Signal processing is things like MTI, clutter suppression, integrating pulses, etc. Lots could be done on both of those ends. I'm just showing the concepts and a minimum working example. It would take non-trivial work on both hardware and software to get a reliable target at 400m.

      @@jonkraft Thanks for the reply. Your videos are popular both among my friends in FAANG and miltech developers in Ukraine making all kinds of stuff including phased array radars. Drones are a serious issue as you may know. And it is getting worse with addition of machine vision. I'm mean not only here, it is a global security issue. Personally I'm building an acoustic array to help defend our skies and more or less know its possibilities from simulations and early prototypes. Hope to finish a full scale prototype this summer and try it out on a test ground to help counter Iranian suicide drones Shaheds. Good luck with your series!

    So you have nine bins on the Fast Time axis, separated by the sampling rate of the data convertor, something like microseconds. Is there one ADC reading in each bin? 8 bins is enough for an FFT, but do you really have a lot more?

    • @jonkraft
      @jonkraft 11 дней назад

      Right, with modern data converters its very easy to get thousands of samples. I think this data was a couple thousand complex (IQ) data points per chirp.

    • @Parkhill57
      @Parkhill57 9 дней назад

      I think the drawing is simplified. Your going to have say 1024 time samples to give 1024 FFT frequency samples per range scan to give Doppler resolution. Triangle waves are not as good as sawtooth waves. The abrupt return to min frequency is a discontinuity.

  • @ericlyons11

    Is it possible to use the radar to calculate the rotation speed of the propellers of the drone?

    • @Parkhill57
      @Parkhill57 9 дней назад

      Probably not the speed, as the blades are horizontal to the radar view, but the faster the rotation, the wider the blade Doppler is from the target Doppler. The blade tips are much faster than the RPM of the propeller.

    • @ericlyons11
      @ericlyons11 9 дней назад

      Thanks. I guess I should’ve ask if you could calculate the rpm of the blades. But I think you kind of answered that.

    Well coming from several years in Turkey we used A variable-focus feed horn that provided a wide beam for detection and a narrow beamwidth for tracking. . . Pulse compression was used to improve both the gain and resolution of the 35-foot (11 m) dish antenna. Steering was mechanical; the FPS-79 had a range of 24,000 miles (39,000 km). The radar site closed in 1997, but We on base were referred to as "Space Trackers" Loved the Tech back then. You have done an excellent job of explaining and back then We would have never envisioned what you made possible... WELL DONE man! Looking forward to more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_Surveillance_Network#AN/FPS-79

  • @freakmusicaddict
    @freakmusicaddict 15 дней назад

    Okay but your not measuring the actual Dopplershift right? Or am I missing something. And if that's true why is it then still called Doppler when it would be more accurate to say radial velocity.

    • @johnschindler9641
      @johnschindler9641 15 дней назад

      In an earlier part of the series, it was suggested that pauses in the frequency modulation ramp, where the frequency is held constant, would be good places to look for Doppler shifts. If the picture at 0:51 is correct, this wasn't done. I guess if things work out, you could have two beat frequencies: one for Doppler at a particular frequency and one for the range.
