Abstract

Staring radar provide a significant capability against the detection of low observable targets such as drones and birds. Their performance in strong urban clutter can be impacted by system limitations due to phase noise resulting from imperfections in the reference oscillator. This paper describes a new class of Quantum oscillator that can provide an alternative clock reference signal for the staring radar which can lower the phase noise and improve sensitivity against strong clutter at low frequencies. Preliminary results are presented to baseline empirical measurement of the staring radar in urban clutter as a precursor to the integration with the Quantum oscillator.
