ABSTRACT
We present a description and analysis of the German WW2 bistatic radar system
Klein Heidelberg
.
A brief account is given of the nature of the electronic war between 
the Allied
bomber aircraft and the German air defence system, to show the 
context in which the Klein Heidelberg
system evolved.
This is followed by a description of the development of Klein
Heidelberg, a technical description, and an assessment of its performance.
Next, a discussion of its operational significance, of what happened 
after WW2, and finally some conclusions and
some lessons learned that may be relevant to the development of 
present day bistatic radar systems.
In particular, we show that its performance
was impressive, yielding detection ranges
of Allied bombers in excess of 300 km, but that it became operational 
too late to make any
significant difference to the course of WW2
.
