Ayrık Frekans Dizi Antenli Radar Sistemleri

Abstract

Frequency Diverse Array (FDA) concepts, first offered in 2006, present a novelapproach to electronic beam steering. FDA differs from other conventional arrays inthat it applies a small frequency increment to the center frequency for each individualarray element creating range, angle, time and frequency offset dependent beampattern. This property defines a new radar concept and applications. Here in thisthesis, we analyze the fundamentals, functions and probable applications offrequency diverse array radar both mathematically and via simulations. Search,acquisition and tracking architectures which can be implemented in frequency diversearray radar systems are offered and analyzed via computer simulations.
