INVESTIGATION OF NEW RADAR COMPONENTS AND TECHNIQUES. VOLUME I

Abstract

The radar research is divided into the three areas of systems, circuits and subsystems, and devices. Two systems investigations have been active. In the first, properties of the radar uncertainty function were examined in an effort either to find a modulation function that overcomes ambiguity limitations, or to prove that no such waveform exists. The second has been concerned with the development of a new theory of multiple-target radar. Progress is summarized for four circuits and subsystems projects. In the device area, a theory accounting for excess noise generation in thin gold films has been developed from experimental observations. A number of investigations were brought to a close; these were concerned with: thermal transducers; the err magneto-optic effect in thin magnetic films; conductivity modulation of thin metallic films; construction techniques for thin-film electrophotoluminescent amplifiers; and ferroelectric materials for parametric amplifiers.
