CONTROL TECHNIQUES FOR RECEIVERS IN HIGH RF FIELDS,
Abstract:
A number of experimental component and circuit techniques which are applicable in reducing effects of high level interference on receivers were developed and evaluated. Areas of research included band rejection filters, helical resonators, a novel infinite skirt receiving technique, circuit control techniques and antenna techniques. The helical resonator and the circuit control techniques, which included the pass band tuner, the variable bandwidth IF amplifier and a selfsynchronous blanker were designed to be compatable with the R361A communications receiver which operates over the frequency range of 225400 mc. The hollow, dielectric rod antenna was developed and investigated as a new approach for control of beam widths and angular location of pattern nulls. Author
