ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF THE SETRIN AND STEWART-WARNER ATC RADAR BEACON INTERROGATION PATH SIDE LOBE SUPPRESSION/REFLECTION SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
Abstract
Evaluations and comparisons are made of the Stewart-Warner and Setrin side lobe suppression/reflection suppression systems, both of which are 3 pulse systems. The comparative effectiveness of each in eliminating side lobe and reflection interrogations and the possible problem areas of each are discussed. Antenna configurations to accomplish the desired suppressions are described. Additional system improvements are suggested. It is shown that it is possible for a 3 pulse system to accomplish complete side lobe and reflection interrogation suppression. The extent of side lobe suppression/reflection suppression desired will determine the system and equipment requirements. (Author)
