Abstract
Noise radars use random or pseudo-random signals to illuminate a target and coherent detection techniques in order to process received noise signals. In the range of microwave frequencies the simple analogue systems of the correlative detector may be used. It helps to overcome the fact that the real digital implementation of the autocorrelation function for these frequencies is very difficult. A correlator receiver is a typical element of the noise radar. The important issue is that coherent reception needs delay lines of constant or variable parameters to be applied in the receiving systems. To address this issue the paper comprises comparison of available technologies of microwave analogue delay lines. The advantages and disadvantages of presented solutions are presented. The paper comprises: the types of basic delay unit technologies, tunable and controlled-delay lines.
