A high-Frequency Broadband Transmitter for Monostatic Systems.

Abstract

This report describes the design and fabrication of the broadband amplifier for the San Watch Radar on San Clemente Island. The amplifier is capable of 1400 watts peak output with a maximum duty cycle of 33%. Twenty-seven units were built with a typical amplitude deviation of 0.2 dB. Receiver pre-amplifiers are included in each unit to provide 8 dB of gain to overcome cable and phasing system losses. Each unit is self-cooling and sealed from the salty atmosphere. (Author)
