Noise in Tracking Radars

reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1214975 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A radar, magnetic recorder, spectrum analyzer, and a plotting device have been assembled for measuring noise in radar echoes. Power spectra of the fluctuations in amplitude and angle of arrival have been determined and are quite consistent for any one plane aspect. Analysis of these results indicated the relative ranges at which sequentially lobed and monopulse systems are advantageous.
