Abstract

The object of this paper is the process of detecting an aerial object by a radar with active and passive reception channels. The main hypothesis of the study assumed that the introduction of an additional channel of passive reception would increase the conditional probability of correct detection at a fixed value of the conditional probability of false alarms.

When detecting an aerial object, it was considered that the signals from aerial object represent a reflected signal after being emitted by the active radar channel elemitted own radio signals. A radar with active and passive reception channels assumes the presence of two channels. The active location channel provides reception of signals reflected from an aerial object, their processing and detection according to the Neumann-Pearson criterion. The passive location channel functions according to the principle of panoramic spectral analysis based on windowed Fourier transforms. The information combining device is intended for the compatible combining of information from active and passive channels of radar reception. At the output of the passive location channel, an output signal is formed, and the coordinates of the aerial object are measured. To ensure the functioning of the radar with active and passive reception channels, it is necessary to ensure the time synchronization of the reception channels.

The quality of detection of aerial objects by radar with active and passive signal reception channels was evaluated. The quality indicator defines the conditional probability of correct detection. The dependences of the conditional probability of correct detection are given for a radar with only an active reception channel and a radar with active and passive reception channels. It was established that the introduction of an additional channel of passive reception to the radar increases the conditional probability of correct detection by an average of (20–40) %, depending on the signal-to-noise ratio.
