MICROWAVE DEVICE TECHNIQUES FOR AEROSPACE SURVEILLANCE.
Abstract:
The objectives of the contract are to conduct a theoretical and experimental investigation of microwave techniques with a view toward development of devices applicable to surveillance systems. The emphasis shall be primarily directed toward requirements of phased array radar systems. This investigation presently includes the following projects 1 Thin Film Transducers 2 Parametric Amplification of Acoustic Waves 3 Domain Fields in Gunn Devices 4 Whistler Mode Propagation in Solids 5 Periodic Ferrite Delay Lines 6 Adiabatic Magnetoelastic Conversion in the Time Domain 7 Theory of the Gunn Effect 8 Guided Acoustic Waves and 9 Double-ended YIG Variable Delay Line. The project titled Theory of Carrier Wave Propagation has been completed and a technical report is now in preparation.
