A pulsed Doppler radar system comprises a transmitter for generating and transmitting a pulse signal having expanded frequency bandwidth, an antenna apparatus for sending the output of the transmitter to a target and for receiving a signal which was sent by the transmitter and reflected by the target, a receiver for processing the received signal to obtain a complex video signal, a pulse compressing circuit including a pulse Doppler processor responsive to the complex video signal for detecting a relative speed of the target and a storage device for storing a reference signal which includes a compensation factor by which an influence of the Doppler effect is compensated in accordance with the speed of the target. The pulse compressing circuit is operative to correlate the output of the pulse Doppler processor with the reference signal so as to convert the complex video signal to a signal having a narrow pulse width, a detector for performing envelope detection on the narrow pulse width signal, and a display responsive to the output of the detector for displaying a detected target thereon.
