SUPERSENSITIVE CRYSTAL VIDEO TRANSPONDER SET AN/DPN-(XE-1).

Abstract

This is the first quarterly progress report on an eighteen month research and development program leading to the development of the AN/DPN-(XE-1) Transponder. This C-band transponder is being developed to fulfill the stateof-the-art requirements defined by the Technical Specifications ERDA-EID-012 of the United States Army Electronics Research and Development activity. The AN/DPN-(XE-1) will be a miniature, supersensitive crystal video transponder for operation at C-band with ground based instrumentation type radars. It will be suitable for radar tracking of missiles, drones, and satellites to ranges of 300 miles. (Author)
