Abstract
The development of bistatic noise radars is a promising contemporary direction in the field of radar technology. Two novel approaches are proposed in this study as further development of existing methods for their design. The first approach involves using a quantum-generated random number sequence for phase manipulation control, which is practically infinite in duration. This ensures additional electronic protection of the radar, since the phase manipulation control code will not repeat regardless of the duration of its operation. The second approach is related to the introduction of synchronized emissions from both antennas in a manner ensuring equality or controlled difference of their signals upon arrival at a predetermined point in space. This enables the formation of a controlled electromagnetic field. As a result, received-signal processing capabilities are improved, while additional electronic "stealth" is achieved by creating a fictitious electromagnetic center of the radar's resultant radiation (i.e., an effective RF phase center of the resultant emission) and complicating the determination of antenna locations. A block diagram and general algorithm for information processing of a bistatic radar with quantum-generated noise phase manipulation and non-directional antennas are proposed in this study.
