Wideband S Band Transmitter

Abstract

This report documents the in-house design and construction of two high power radar transmitters for the RADC Surveillance Laboratory. The first transmitter is an S band, 180 KW, 6% duty one which has been added to the existing vertical channel transmitter of the S band tracking radar to provide horizontal polarization coverage. The second is a 180 KW, 2% duty unit which powers the C band Advanced Mainbeam ECCM antenna. This report covers the S band transmitter and comprises maintenance, operation, design philosophy, and theory of operation, as well as being expository of novel technologies used and recommendations for further research.
