Solid-State Monopulse Receiver for the Experimental Array Radar.
Abstract
DWARD A. ;RE-73-1DA-1-M-262303-A-214(*radar receivers, *monopulse radar), phased arrays, radar signals, processing, automatic gain control, mixers(electronics), computer programs, designsignal processing, computer aided design, *experimental array radarThe receiver for the Experimental Array Radar is described. Design procedures, theory, construction, and test data are given. The receiver is a solid-state, superheterodyne, monopulse receiver. Four channels are required to process signals from two line phased array antennae. Three frequency conversion stages are used to convert C-band signals to bipolar video outputs. Sensitivity time control and automatic gain control are employed to increase reciever dynamic range. Computer-aided design techniques were used to design the stripline-balanced mixer and filter for the receiver front end. (Author)
