PHASED ARRAY RADAR STUDIES, 1 JANUARY 1963 TO 1 JULY 1964
Abstract
The report is the fourth in the series of reports describing the work of a general research nature carried out by the Lincoln Laboratory Array Radars Group. The effort reported is directed toward an investigation of components, techniques, and fundamental theoretical limitations of arrays, primarily for high-power radar applications. The emphasis is on those applications which place the most stringent demands on the radar for resolution of very small targets from backgrounds of extensive and relatively large clutter (arrays with capability for high power, broad bandwidth, and narrow beamwidth). Part I deals with the concluding activities on the 900-Mcps test array, emphasizing the configuration of the transmitting array and our experiences with it. Part II is devoted to work on an S-band subarray transmitter configured around the use of high-power helical phase shifters. Part III deals with theoretical and experimental studies in multiple-beam-forming systems and studies in mutual- coupling effects.
