Using spectral representation of non-harmonic processes and partial characteristics of antennas, energy equations of transmissionreception of broadband signals in the radio channel with scattering on the object and the direct radio channel between the radar and the radio monitoring (RM) complex have been obtained. Energy of received signals is determined by value of product of spectral density of radiation power and partial moment of transmission-reception averaged in the range of cyclic frequencies. The signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver input reaches the highest value when the partial moment of transmission-reception of signals in the radio channel changes according to a linear law. At fixed average radar power, energy of information signals at incoherent accumulation can be increased due to selection of antennas with partial directive gain amplifying wave processes in areas of their spectra concentration. The range of the radar is proportional to the linear dimensions and significantly depends on the shape of the object.

The rules of antenna characteristics selection are justified to ensure radar stealth from RM systems while maintaining the required range of target detection and recognition.

When using an antenna with a partial directive gain constant in the range of working cyclic frequencies in the radar, and in the RM complex of an antenna system with a frequency-independent effective area, the partial moment of transmission-reception of signals in the forward radio channel is constant. Its value is determined by the product of partial directive gain at the central frequency of the range. Forms of pulses supplied to input of transmitting antenna and radiated into space coincide, and shape of signal at output of receiving antenna has the form of their derivative.

Due to application of frequency-independent antennas in radar and RM complex, energy of probing signals increases compared to levels typical for antenna systems with partial directivity indices varying in proportion to current value of cyclic frequency in the first or second degree. This pattern is due to the significant effective area of the receiving antenna in the lower part of the frequency range, which parries the low efficiency of radiation of low-frequency components of the radar signal spectrum. In radio channels with partial moments of transmission-reception of signals varying with frequency increase according to linear law, energy supplied to receiver input increases in comparison with levels achievable at quadratic and cubic dependencies of partial moments on cyclic frequency due to the same type dependencies of partial directive gain antenna of radar and effective area of antenna of RM complex. Stealth of probing radiation increases as dimensions of radar antennas increase due to increase of partial directive gain and decreases as dimensions of antenna systems of RM complexes increase due to increase of their effective areas. The duty cycle of pulses forming regular sequences, established due to the condition of accumulation of energy of reflected signals due to irradiation of the object, which is required to complete the functional tasks of the radar, decreases in proportion to the increase of the partial directive gain antenna at the central cyclic frequency. Energy of information signals increases in proportion to coefficients depending on relative half-width of their spectra, and decreases with increase of central cyclic frequency to the second degree. As pulse repetition frequency increases at maximum permissible average density of radiation power limited by radar stealth requirements, energy density of probing signals decreases proportionally. The average power of the radar at a fixed level of spectral density varies in proportion to the bandwidth occupied by the probing signals due to a reduction in the following period.
