Abstract. Methods and principles of stepped frequency signals generation are researched and generalized. Mathematical models of stepped frequency signals are described. Software signal models are implemented to evaluate the possibility of developing a device for probing signals synthesizing. These signals can increase the range resolution of radars. As an example, a schematic calculation of the device for stepped frequency probing signals synthesis is carried out. The possibility of stepped frequency signals generation in the optical wavelength range based on lasers for multi-band radars development is considered. Conclusions are drawn about the possibility of creating advanced multiband radars with a single optoelectronic oscillator.
Key words: electronic oscillator, stepped-frequency (SF) signal, chirp-subpulse modulation, optoelectronic generator, advanced radars.
