1. A system for radiating recurrent pulsed signals having a variable carrier frequency, said system comprising: a source of signals having a random voltage: a non-linear amplifier coupled to said source for amplifying said signals and providing amplified signals, said amplifier having a gain which decreases upon the amplitude of said signals exceeding a predetermined absolute value and having an output; means coupled to said output of said amplifier for storing an amplified signal for the duration of each recurrence period of said pulsed signals; and variable frequency, voltage controlled oscillator means coupled to said storing means.

Variable frequency radar systems

1. A random frequency radar system comprising: a normally blocked transmitting channel including a radio frequency oscillator; a receiving channel including a mixer and a local oscillator feeding said mixer; means for selecting a random pair of associated frequencies F.sub.p and F.sub.l differing by a fixed value; means for tuning said radio frequency oscillator and said local oscillator respectively on said selected frequencies F.sub.p and F.sub.l ; a normally blocked auxiliary channel connected in parallel with said receiving channel at a point thereof beyond said mixer, said auxiliary channel having an output and including a threshold device for translating to said output only signals above a predetermined level; first means for temporarily unblocking said auxiliary channel, and second means connected to said auxiliary channel output for blocking and unblocking the normal operation of said radar system at said selected pair of associated frequencies and a timing circuit for successively making operative said selecting means, said first means, and said second means.
