ABSTRACT
The design and construction of any complex information and control systems, including complex radar systems (CRSs), involve a long-term multistage process. The most important stage of CRS development is the design. However, the problem is important because an unsuccessful choice of the CRS structure may bring to one’s grave the results of the next stages of development. Thus, the most characteristic feature of the systems approach to design CRSs is a decision searching by iterative optimization based on computer-aided designing systems. The CRS contains a great number of interdependent elements and blocks and belongs to the complex system class. In designing the receiving path and the target return signal processing algorithms, the energy parameters of the CRS are considered as the fixed and external parameters. The control system of the CRS is, per se, the autonomous system, but by the nature of solving problems, it is the system of higher order in comparison with the considered CRS.
