Radar
Designer App
 The Radar Designer app is a tool
for designing and con guring
custom radar systems

Introductio It aims to simplify and streamline

the design process by providing a

n
user-friendly interface for selecting
components, de ning system
parameters, and simulating
performance

The app is exible and scalable,

capable of adapting to changing
requirements and advances in radar
technology
Objectives
1.To provide an intuitive and user-friendly
interface for designing and con guring custom
radar systems.
2.To allow users to easily select and specify
components, de ne system parameters, and
simulate performance.
3.To generate accurate technical speci cations,
schematics, and other supporting documentation
for custom radar systems.
4.To support the e cient and e ective
development and deployment of custom radar
systems by streamlining the design process.
5.To o er a exible and scalable solution that
can be easily adapted to meet changing
requirements and advances in
radar technology.
 The problem that the Radar
Designer app aims to address is

consuming process of designing
custom radar systems

 Methodology
• The Radar Designer app provides an easy to use interface, for
parameter input design comparison visualizations, and sharing
of results
• We are using the app for an airport radar design as an example
to explain
• We're going to design and expand surveillance radar, for
detecting small targets
• The radar should detect small manned aircraft, up to 18
kilometers
• On the left hand side of the app, we have the input parameters
for the radar target, and environment
• We'll start by adjusting the Max Range Constraint
• The manned aircraft is a swirling one target with radar cross
section of one meter squared
• The azimuth and elevation antenna beam width are set to two
and six degrees, respectively, to meet the azimuth and
elevation accuracy requirements
Methodology(contd…)
• Scan mode is set to mechanical, to give 360 degree
coverage and azimuth
• Including scanning in the analysis adds the beam shape
loss, and beam dwell factor, to the link budget
• We account for losses, due to pulse eclipsing, and add this
to the budget analysis
• Changing the parameters in environment section
o To include the path loss due to precipitation, in the
analysis,we set precipitation type to Rain, in the
precipitation section of the environment panel
o the SNR verse range plot, show that the probability of
detection, at the maximum range, is much lower than
the required 0.9.We'll have to make adjustments to
the design
Methodology(contd…)
• The probability of detection can be improved
by either increasing the SNR available at the
receiver, or by decreasing the SNR required to
make a detection
• Although the probability of detection is still
below the speci ed objective value, it meets
the threshold requirement
• This means that the system has an acceptable
detection performance, in heavy rain
• The SNR versus range plot shows that the
available sensor for this design is above the
objective detectability line, at eight kilometers

INTERPRETATION
FROM THE ABOVE ANALYSIS OF OUTPUT PARAMETERS OBTAINED FOR THE TWO
TYPES OF RADARS THE THRESHOLD VALUES WERE TRIED TO MEET WITH THE
PROVIDED INPUT PARAMETERS EVENTUALLY REALIZING THE PERFORMANCE OF
RADAR WHEN SUBJECTED TO DIFFERENT CONDITIONS THAT INVOLVE HARDWARE,
WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LOSSES SUBJECTING THE RADAR TO DIFFERENT SETS OF
PARAMETERS.
A CERTAIN MAXIMUM RANGE WAS SET TO STUDY THE PERFORMANCE OF RADAR
WHEN IT COULD DETECT A CERTAIN FLIGHT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED RANGE AND THE
POWER FREQUENCIES WERE OBSERVED WHICH AFFECTS THE SIGNAL POWER TO
NOISE POWER RATIO AND A PLOT WAS PUT UP.
SIMILARLY THE POSITIONS OF TARGET AND ANTENNA WERE OBSERVED TO DETECT
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM.
THE PLOT IS SYMMETRIC ABOUT Y-AXIS AND RADAR PERFORMS EQUALLY GOOD FOR
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ANGLES OF ELEVATION.
