English term or phrase: antenna dwells
"In classical scan to scan processor found on many coastal radar, signal processing of multiple antenna scans is simply done by integrating the content of range/Azimuth gates from several antenna rotations. Such a processing provides detection gain only for very low speed target whereas target needs to stay in the same cell for several antenna dwells. It is obviously not well adapted for very small cells of high-resolution radar or for fast moving targets."

posições ou locais (de instalação) de antenas


Explanation:
Trata-se de uma rede de antenas de radar; dwell refere-se ao local/posição em que a antena está fisicamente instalada.
Essas posições são escolhidas para permitir que o objeto em movimento seja rastreado por mais do que uma antena de radar de maneira simultânea.

tempos de atividade/"iluminação"


Explanation:
:) Não tem nada a ver com locais

The resolution available from Doppler beam sharpening is limited by the antenna dwell time--the length of time for which the patch of terrain being observed is illuminated by the radar beam. If the antenna is set to scan that sector very slowly, or even to stop, flooding the target area with radar energy, the resulting radar returns can be integrated over a second or more. This provides an effective beamwidth of 0.5 degrees of better. This is similar to the beamwidth available from a sideways-looking Sar, so gives a much higher resolution, for example 0.5[degrees] or better.
