Abstract. The conditions for the implementation of a nonlinear radar using a probing signal having a form as a periodic sequence of pairs of radio pulses with different amplitudes and equal energies, are considered. The energies of the reflected pulses are compared in the locator receiver for each pair, which makes it possible to detect reflections from nonlinear devices at the probing signal frequency by violating the equality of these energies. A numerical experiment was performed to evaluate the dependence of the current form through germanium and silicon diodes and their amplitude parameters at the frequency of the acting sinusoidal voltage with variable amplitude. As a result, it was found that the amplitude nonlinearity can be detected before the diode is completely "opened" if the two voltage amplitudes on the diode differ from each other by at least one and a half to two times. Since the pulse energies are proportional to their powers, and the pulse durations are unchanged, it should be possible to detect non-linearity by determination of a ratio between the radar cross-sections of non-linear objects for different pulse amplitudes. To obtain quantitative estimates, a simulation of the incidence of a flat, linearly polarized wave on a half-wavelength dipole and a half-wavelength folded dipole loaded with a diode was performed. It was found that the model type and parameters significantly affect both the values of the radar cross-sections and the degree of influence of nonlinearity on these values, so that the detection of non-linearity requires significantly higher power levels of the probing signal than the theory predicts.
Key words: nonlinear radar, two-level signals, radio pulses with the same energies, carrier frequency processing, diode, radar cross section.
