Equipment Measurement of Radar Area of V-2 Rocket

Abstract

A system for quantitative measurement of the peak signal amplitude of the individual pulses of reflected energy from a radar target is described in detail. In this system each echo pulse returned from the target is lengthened and made rectangular in shape. The amplitude of these lengthened pulses determines the position of a spot on an oscilloscope, which is photographed on a continuously moving film. This equipment has been operated successfully in a determination of the radar area of V-2 missiles at White Sands Proving Ground, New Mexico.
