The transmitted RADAR RF
Signal is:

E0 – amplitude of the signal
f0 – RF frequency of the signal
φ0 –phase of the signal (possible modulated)
The returned signal is delayed by the time that takes to signal to reach the target and to
return back to the receiver. Since the electromagnetic waves travel with the speed of light
c (much greater then RADAR and
Target velocities), the received signal
is delayed by

To retrieve the range (and range-rate) information from the received signal the
transmitted signal must be modulated in Amplitude or/and Frequency or/and Phase.

We want to compute the delay time td due to the time td1 it takes the EM-wave to reach
the target at a distance R1 (at t=0), from the transmitter, and to the time td2 it takes the
EM-wave to return to the receiver, at a distance R2 (at t=0) from the target. 21 ddd ttt +=

the EM wave will travel with a constant

The optimal filter, that maximizes the
Signal-to-Noise Ratio for a white noise is
called a Matched Filter of the known
Signal si (t).
We can see that for a known input
signal of finite duration T the optimal
Matched Filter is also of finite duration T.

Matched Filter for Received Radar Signals
The majority of radar signals are narrow band signals, whose Fourier transform is
limited to an angular-frequency bandwidth of W centered about a carrier angular
frequency of ±ω0.
The received signal will be:
1
• attenuated by a factor α
• retarded by a time t0 = 2 R/c
• affected by the Doppler effect

Since the range and range-rate (t0, ωD) are not known exactly in advance,
the matched filter is designed to match the received signal at any time t0
assuming zero Doppler ωD=0.

Henry Nyquist

Nyquist-Shannon Sampling Theorem
Claude Elwood Shannon
1916 – 2001
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_E._Shannon
The sampling theorem was implied by the work of Harry Nyquist in
1928 ("Certain topics in telegraph transmission theory"), in which
he showed that up to 2B independent pulse samples could be sent
through a system of bandwidth B; but he did not explicitly consider
the problem of sampling and reconstruction of continuous signals.
About the same time, Karl Küpfmüller showed a similar result, and
discussed the sinc-function impulse response of a band-limiting
filter, via its integral, the step response Integralsinus; this band-
limiting and reconstruction filter that is so central to the sampling
theorem is sometimes referred to as a Küpfmüller filter (but seldom
so in English).
The sampling theorem, essentially a dual of Nyquist's result,
was proved by Claude E. Shannon in 1949 ("Communication in
the presence of noise"). V. A. Kotelnikov published similar
results in 1933 ("On the transmission capacity of the 'ether' and
of cables in electrical communications", translation from the
Russian), as did the mathematician E. T. Whittaker in 1915
("Expansions of the Interpolation-Theory", "Theorie der
Kardinalfunktionen"), J. M. Whittaker in 1935 ("Interpolatory
function theory"), and Gabor in 1946 ("Theory of
communication").
