Abstract:

The purpose of the work described in this report was to investigate the possibility of applying the concepts employed in the compact antenna ranges to the operation of compact reflectivity ranges. This work was conducted at X- band frequencies 8.2 to 12.0 GHz. A continuous waveCW breadboard radar was fabricated using common laboratory components and equipment. This CW breadboard radar comprises the transmitter and receiver equipments used with the compact range reflectors.
