Abstract

A pulse doppler radar system for helicopter recognition has a receiver (5) for receiving reflected pulse radar signals. A distinguishing circuit (22) is provided for distinguishing a group of received frequencies within a predetermined spectral range and for ignoring at least the largest amplitude frequency within that group. A threshold detector (24) is arranged to determine when the amplitude of the remaining frequencies in the group exceed a predetermined value to provide a recognition signal.
