A STUDY OF NANOSECOND PULSE TECHNIQUES IN RADAR TRANSMISSION,
Abstract
A study is made of important subsystems for high energy, wide instantaneous bandwidth radar transmitters. The relative merits of direct short pulse operation and pulse compression techniques to obtain high range resolution are explored. Included are the present and predicted capabilities of pulse modulators and r-f sources, design information on electrical breakdown and attenuation of transmission lines, effects of high peak and average power on microwave window materials, and the effects of propagation parameter anomalies on wide bandwidth radar transmissions. Appropriate supporting material such as an introduction to special analytical techniques, and a survey of wideband radar receivers is also included. (Author)
