A radar is an electrical system that transmits radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM)
waves toward a region of interest and receives and detects these EM waves when reflected
from objects in that region. Figure 1-1 shows the major elements involved in the process of
transmitting a radar signal, propagation of that signal through the atmosphere, reflection
of the signal from the target, and receiving the reflected signals. Commented [bm1]: Radar stem-chap1 vol1

Received target signals exist in the presence of interference. Interference comes in

four different forms: (1) internal and external electronic noise; (2) reflected EM waves
from objects not of interest, often called clutter; (3) unintentional external EM waves
created by other human-made sources, that is, electromagnetic interference (EMI); and
(4) intentional jamming from an electronic countermeasures (ECM) system, in the form
of noise or false targets. Determining the presence of a target in the presence of noise,
clutter and jamming is a primary function of the radars signal processor Commented [bm2]: Interfnce -chap1 Vol1
 The noise voltage is always present in the radar receiver circuits. If the radar antenna
beam is pointed in the direction of a target when the transmitter generates the transmitted
signal, then the signal will illuminate the target, and the signal reflected from that target
will propagate toward the receiver antenna, will be captured by the antenna, and will also
produce a voltage in the receiver. At the instant in time at which the target signal is present Commented [bm3]: Detection with noise chap1-vol1
