Abstract
The impact of beam overlap on probability of detection during a single scan of a phased-array volumetric scan radar is examined. Both rectan gular and triangular beam packing arrangements are considered. Beam po sitions nearby the beam most centered on the target are allowed to con tribute to the detection process. The treatment of the impact of beam overlap on target detection for a phased array presented is consistent with the results that would be achieved by proper use of the search r adar range equation.
