6 Future radar Parameter PILOT (military only) 24GHz harbour radar (military or civil) Range resolution 4.5m to 36m (range scale dependent) 1.5m (all range settings) Clutter rejection Poor (non-coherent) Very good (coherent and non-coherent) Phase noise -110dBc/Hz at 166kHz -135dBc/Hz at 166kHz (COTS) -160dBc/Hz (custom) Instrumented range 36km 24km Antenna size 1.8m 0.7m Interference Susceptible in highly populated band – uses frequency diversity Sparsely populated band
