Solid state, 95 GHz tracking radar system

This paper describes a solid state, 95 GHz tracking radar being used to investigate techniques associated with a millimeter wave terminal homing technology development program. Particular emphasis is placed on the major technology aspects of the radar including the implementation of the four-horn monopulse tracking, the lens antenna, etc. The Georgia Institute of Technology, Engineering Experiment Station (GIT/EES) has designed and developed this state-of-the-art millimeter wave tracking radar system for use by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL) under subcontract from the General Electric Company Aircraft Equipment Division. The system is being used in the Lincoln Laboratory Millimeter Terminal Homing Program as an instrument to help evaluate various millimeter wave system concepts.
