A pseudo-noise modulated continuous wave radar for providing foliage penetration as a means for quickly establishing perimeter surveillance of an emplacement in heavily foliaged environments. An RF signal is radiated into free space by means of a static antenna array. The return signal is received by the receiving antenna which is composed of eight-dipoles, phased to create three receive lobes. The three lobes are utilized in an amplitude monopulse technique to determine the azimuthal direction to the detected target with respect to the radar site.

In a surveillance system of the type utilizing a radar system for the monitoring of moving objects within a perimeter of surveillance that includes trees and plants bearing foliage, the combination comprising: transmitter means for transmitting a modulated RF signal to illuminate the area under surveillance, receiver means for receiving reflections of said transmitted RF signal, signal processing circuit means coupled to said receiver means for providing an output signal which indicates azimuthal direction of a detected target with respect to the radar site, said signal processing circuit means includes a first summing circuit for summing and sampling inbound signals and a second summing circuit for summing and sampling outbound signals and divider circuit means connected to each of said first and second summing circuits for dividing the sums by the number of samples taken which is proportional to the length of time the signal remains either positive or negative to prevent full cycle integration to remove clutter when the output signal is fluctuating back and forth between positive and negative polarities.
