Equipment for the Transient Capture of Chaotic Microwave Signals
Abstract
Equipment is requested for the capture of chaotic microwave signals. Recent results have indicated that chaos either superimposed on microwave signals or a microwave signal that is inherently chaotic is in some cases an important component complicating the capture of microwave signals. Chaos appears to lead to phase noise on microwave oscillators, and appears to lead to spurious tones on a vibrating antenna and these are not captured using a spectrum analyzer. A high-speed sampling oscilloscope is required to capture actual chaotic signals. Long capture times and over-sampling are required.
