A Pulse "Phantom" Target for Use with Radar and IFF Equipment

Abstract

Theoretical considerations are given to show the possibility of using an oscillator with high R.C. combination in the grid circuit, which will block with a Radar pulse, as an overall test unit to produce artificial pulses for alignment of Radar in the absence of regular echoes. The use of the equipment to determine relative transmitter power and receiver sensitivity is also shown. Experimental results are given for various types of Radar and IFF Equipments.
