C(G)-Band and X(I)-Band Noncoherent Radar Transponder Performance Specification Standard

Abstract

Historically, each testing range in this country has been able to purchase or obtain transponder equipment via the normal procurement channels or through other ranges. This procedure required the procuring range or the supplying range to write their own specifications. The end result was that hardware often was not compatible with another range s requirements. The goal of this specification standard is to allow ranges to reference RCC documents in their purchase specifications. This document sets forth the minimum transponder parameter requirements for both C (G)-band and X (I)-band, noncoherent, pulse-type transponder sets that any instrumentation tracking radar on any test range may use.
