Abstract
Range detection is the main significant goal of radar systems. The radar illuminates the targets to the user and then calculates its parameters. The range is the most important parameter. In Chapter 2, the authors discussed the range detection criteria for the general radar and then emphasized the range detection in airborne radar systems. The range detection in radars suffers from many problems, especially in airborne radar systems where the clutter and jamming are highly affected by the targets' echoes. Also, due to the high relative speed between the air targets and the airborne radar, the range migration problem will happen, and the power loss problem will affect the SNR. So, in order to have a high probability of detection, one must compensate for these problems. This chapter will explain all these problems and how to solve them.
