This radar signal has been observed in 2024 on several frequencies. It resembles CODAR but transmission mode seems to be FMCW, not ILFM which is typically used by CODAR. Signal strength fluctuates but the typical pulsed or chopped pattern is not seen. Sweep rate is 4 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). and bandwidth is 100 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz. Unlike most CODARs and similar research radars, this radar operates on bands that are not allocated for such use.
Operators of this or these radars are unknown. Operation outside of the designated marine research radar bands suggests that it might be operated by military or a country that does not follow the commonly agreed frequency plans.
