1. A method for transmitting high data rate information from a pulsed radar system, comprising:
- collecting information via radar pulse reflections of unmodulated bursts using a mobile radar platform;
dividing the information into a plurality of segments, wherein each segment is configured to fit within a time period less than a radar burst signal time period;
modulating each segment onto a radar burst signal to form modulated radar burst signals; and
transmitting the modulated radar burst signals from the radar system wherein the modulated radar burst signals are interspersed between the unmodulated bursts to provide substantially simultaneous collection and transmission of the information.

Abstract
A system and method for transmitting high data rate information from a pulsed radar is disclosed. The method includes collecting information using a mobile radar platform. The information is divided into a plurality of segments. Each segment is configured to fit within a time period less than a radar burst signal time period. Each segment is modulated onto a radar burst signal to form modulated radar burst signals. The modulated radar burst signals are transmitted from the pulsed radar system.

14. A system for transmitting high data rate information from radar equipment, comprising:
-
a pulsed radar mounted on a mobile radar platform configured to transmit a plurality of burst radar signals comprising interspersed modulated bursts and unmodulated bursts and to collect radar data based on the burst radar signals; a modem coupled to the pulsed radar to form the modulated bursts and configured to receive a gate signal from the pulsed radar associated with a radar burst signal time period of the burst radar signal; and a data source coupled to the modem to provide modulation data to the modem, wherein the modem is configured to divide the modulation data into a plurality of data segments, with each data segment configured to fit within the radar burst signal time period, wherein the modulation data is the radar data collected by the pulsed radar. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 31)
