METHOD OF SPACE RADAR SCANNING (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01S13/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: according to the method of space radar scanning, which is electronic and mechanical scanning in elevation and mechanical scanning in azimuth using a phased array in the review of the azimuth sector, where it is most likely that the high-speed and pin-point targets appear, electronic scanning is moved to an azimuthal plane by turning the phased array (PA) around an axis perpendicular to its plane. According to the method of space radar scanning, which is electronic and mechanical scanning in elevation and mechanical scanning in azimuth using a phased array in the review of the azimuth of the sector, where it is most likely that the high-speed or pin-point targets, electronic scanning is moved to an azimuthal plane by turning the PA around an axis perpendicular to its plane, and the electronic scanning is performed in addition to the mechanical scanning in elevation by changing the carrier frequency of the probing signal.

EFFECT: ensuring fast scanning in azimuth and high antenna gain factor with flexible management of the antenna beam displacement in widely distributed radar stations with a phased array, which have one-dimensional electronic scanning in elevation.
