EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF RADAR BEACON SYSTEMS

Abstract

Theory and experimental results of a varactor tuned, C-Band tunnel diode oscillator are presented. Work on C-band amplifiers is discussed with experimental results. The dc biasing circuit of a c-band tunnel diode amplifier is analyzed and experimental results are obtained. The effect of instability in the biasing circuit is also discussed. The fundamental limitations on the range and accuracy of coherent pulsed radar-beacon systems are analyzed. Specifications and design objectives for a coherent beacon are presented.
