An Electronically-Lobe Tracking and Guiding Radar

Abstract

An X-band automatic tracking and guiding radar employing a new electronic-lobing technique is described. While offering attractive advantages in simplicity, stability, accuracy, and immunity to jamming, the system is adaptable to aperiodic operation, and provides wide latitude in the choice of lobing rates, including pulse-to-pulse lobing. The lobing system and the special units are briefly described. Proposals for modifications of the system are discussed. This is an interim report on this problem; work is continuing.
