Automatic peak power measurement of short RF pulses
Abstract
A method was needed to measure the peak radiofrequency (RF) power of short-width RF pulses of the type used in telemetry and radar. A closed-loop pulse height leveling system was developed that can be constructed from readily available original equipment manufacturer microwave and electronic components. The system measures peak power, to within + or - 0.5 db, of pulsed or CW RF signals.
