EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF RADAR-BEACON SYSTEMS
Abstract
Research efforts were continued on: (1) the improvement in beacon performance when a ferrite circulator is used as the duplexer, (2) the possibility of designing a fixed tuned crystal video detector for the C-band range, (3) the application of parametric amplifiers to radarbeacon receivers, (4) the performance of an experimental C-band parametric amplifier, (5) a 370 mc tunnel diode amplifier, (6) the theory of optimum linear filtering and prediction, as applied to radar tracking systems, and (7) an approximation method for the design of an optimum filter, valid at high signal-to-noise ratios. Previous results comparing the tracking accuracy of pulse and pulse-doppler radars are summarized. (Author)
