Abstract
The Dual Function Radar Receiver shown provides hardware commonality between detection and tracking modes. Four channels (56, 58, 60, 62) are provided, each of which searches a separate range bin during the detection mode. During the tracking mode, one channel (56) continues to search a range bin, while the second channel (58) servos the range bin to the range of the detected object. The third channel (60) processes the azimuthal difference signal (94), and the fourth channel processes the elevational difference signal (110).
