RADC SOI Test Facility Upgrade

Abstract

The report describes the effort expended in upgrading the Wideband Pulse Compression Radar at the Floyd Test Annex to a 500 MHz bandwidth. The effort consisted of; transmitter redesign and overhaul, design, and fabrication of a high speed system synchronizer, design and fabrication of a solid state sweep generator, and the installation and integration into the system of Government supplied equipment from other vendors. The Government furnished equipment included new; pulse compression filters, transversal equalizers, pulse compression dispersive delay line assembly, wideband RF front end including RF preamplifiers and several IF amplifiers. The major requirement and major work effort was; the achievement of very high system linearity, good stability and RFI avoidance.
