VHF Pulse Compression Radar VHF Pulse Compression RadarGoals of the project:Development of an experimental radar transceiver with asociated signal and dataprocessing for detecting unexpected occured, low-height operated, small reflectable,flying targets, -using the existing antenna mechanics of type P-18 VHF radar.

Technical objectives:Design and implementation of a state of the art equipment with sub-pulse modulatedtransmitter, matched filter pulse compression receiver, full semiconductor based,computer controlled, remote operable, ready for system integration.
