A PROPOSED ULTRASOMIC ACQUISTION SYSTEM FOR PULSED RADAR

Abstract

A system is described which was designed and constructed to test techniques for a radar acquisition system capable of high speed data processing. A description of a system instrumented to measure range to 100 feet and doppler shift to 300 cps is given. The acquisition system channel is broken down into four major subdivisions: (1) the storage tube and its associated electronics; (2) a master timer used to time all the operations of the system; (3) the Ultrasonic Light Modulator (ULM) with its associated crystal driving amplifier and optical system; and (4) the image converter and image orthicon read-out system.
