'Ghadir' OTH Radar
Ghadir, is an Iranian over the horizon radar Ghadir is a 360°, 3D-radar, with a ceiling of 300 km, and a maximum range of 1,100 km. You can hear a high and a low tone, corresponding to the sweep rates of 870 and 307 sweeps/sec. sent in two separated bursts.
Unlike other OTHR's, Ghadir doesn't use FMCW modulation. Instead, it uses a shaped pulsed system which makes the edges of the signal hard to define. Because of this, the bandwidth of this signal can vary greatly, ranging from around 60 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz to splattering over 1 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz, depending on the power of the received signal for the user.
