Summary of session on optimum transmitter and antenna configuration for MST radar, part 6

Interpret MST radar data and hardware incorporation into these systems are discussed. Two recent examples of this necessary interaction are cited: (1) in orbit to obtain the average vertical velocity related to meteorological systems, the radar antenna must be pointed with an accuracy of 0.1 degree; (2) antenna sidelobe reduction to reduce the number of spurious records is considered. Improvements in the MST or ST technique are examined and the following topics are discussed: T/R Switch Design for Short-Range Measurements. Practicality of Electron Beam Steering for MST/ST Radars. Increase of Antenna Area Instead of Transmitted Power. The use of Interferometer Techniques for Beam Steering. Testing and Optimizing MST Coaxial-Collinear Arrays.
