Time domain distortions in solid state transmitters
Abstract
In-pulse time distortions in the signal transfer properties (gain and phase) of an IMPATT two-stage locked oscillator (8 W output power, 29 dB gain) and an indium phosphide three-stage locked oscillator (14 W output power at 16 GHz, 28 dB gain) are studied experimentally. The first oscillator is intended for use in a pulse compression loop, while the second, having a one-half microsecond pulse width duration, may be adopted for a portable pulse-Doppler radar system. In addition to in-pulse distortions, sidelobe performance of the transmitter arrays is also discussed.
