Single-Sideband Modulator for Doppler Simulation.

Abstract

The modulation requirements of a doppler simulator are analyzed in detail. A modulator using two PIN diodes lambda/8 apart is described and analyzed. It satisfies the requirements over a broad bandwidth; the conversion loss is independent of the incident power level; and the circuit is inexpensive, simple and noncritical. The performance of the modulator is compared with that of a mixer and with that of a conventional type of single-sideband modulator. (Author)
