This Ku and Ka dual band experimental radar is an arnplitute-comparison monopulse tracking and guiding radar. The constitution and parameters of this radar is described in paragraph 2. Paragraph 3 deals with two experiments for testing the tracking performances against low elevation target, and gives the important results. Both Ku and Ka band have high tracking precision when they track high elevation targets, while Ka band has much better tracking performance than Ku band when they track low elevation targets. Ka band can track a helicopter, whose radar cross section is about 6 square meters, at 40m, 20m, 10m, and even 5m above sea. Ku band can only track the same helicopter at 160m and higher above sea.展开更多
