Abstract
The transfer of the compact range and target identification technology initiated under JSEP support for time domain studies continues to make large advances. The installation of a large compact reflector and a modern radar of our design has been completed for ASD at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. This system will have all of the sensitivity of the Mini Range reported last year and yet has a 14' quiet (or target) zone. The reflector includes all the most updated features of the ESL design. Dr. Brian Kent of ASD has expressed complete satisfaction with its performance. It is the range we would like to have, but can never afford. A large even more advanced compact range is currently being designed for NASA, Langley which is specifically being focused for measurements as low as 300 MHz. This new range will fit in a room 40' x 40' x 80' instead of the previously required 120' x 120' x 360'. The cost savings in this care are enormous. Our JSEP research continues to focus on electromagnetic related topics. There are four major electromagnetics areas that were pursued in the past year.
