The day-night cycle produces drastic changes in the ion - ization distribution within the ionosphere. At night, the D-layer disappears, the E and F regions experience a substantial decrease in ionization, and the equatorial and polar regions are more prone to large-scale perturbations. The extent of diurnal variation can be seen by examining Figure 20.4, which shows measured electron density (expressed in terms of plasma frequency as defined in Eq. |

Not unnaturally, cost, for a given performance, is the prime driver in the system designer’s choice of antenna. While the conventional slotted linear array is widely used, there are examples where different cost tradeoffs have been made. For instance, the use of a dielectric block mounted directly in front of the slotted waveguide array, in place of the flared section, has been used as an alternative. |

The fence replaces the gr0tind-rdlccted wave with a diffracted wave of lesser importance. |

The reduction of transmit antenna gain in a multiple-beam radar is compensated, however, in the ideal case by the increased number of hits available for integration. The gain of the transmitting antenna in the multiple-beam system is 0,/0, = I/ N that of the transmitting gain of the scanning-beam antenna. Thus the signal-to-noise ratio per pulse of the multiple-beam radar is less than the signal-to-noise ratio of the scanning-beam radar. |
However, since the main beam is virtually unchanged, about 90 percent of the power is delivered to the sidelobe region. If the removed elements (in a regular thinned array) are replaced with ele- ments with matched loads, the element pattern is identical to that of one in the regular array with all elements excited. The element pattern is independent of the array excitation, and the same fractional amount of power will be lost (because of mismatch) whether the array is thinned, tapered, or uniformly illuminated. |

Saturation results in the virtual elimination of information about targets. Wide dynamic range (i.e., log and lin-log) receivers are normally used to avoid saturation. Other special processing circuits can be used in the radar to avoid saturation, i.e., fast-time-constant (FTC) devices, automatic gain control (AGC), and constant-false-alarm rate (CFAR).3'15'17 However, they cannot be said to be ECCM techniques. |

The silicon Laterally Diffused Metal-Oxide Semi- conductor (LDMOS) transistor is beginning to supersede the silicon power BJT as a replacement device, especially at the VHF, UHF, and L-band frequencies. In par - ticular, the commercial communications industry has found that the Si LDMOS FET dominates as a cell phone base-station power amplifier because of the higher gain, linearity, and efficiency that it demonstrates compared to the silicon BJT. Although it is a FET, its construction characteristics, packaging, and design challenges are very similar to the design challenges of the Si BJT.FIGURE 11.6 A 230-watt L-band long-pulse and high-duty- cycle silicon bipolar power transistor in a custom hermetic, dual-leaded, low-inductance package has an overall footprint of 0.40" × 0.45."

The principal disadvantage ofusing synchros toprovide torque is that power must betransmitted bythe primary s.vnchro. This limits thenumber ofrepeaters which can beused. Further, insystems with more than one repeater, anerror inany tends tothrow the system off balance and toaffect theaccuracy ofother repeaters. |
The simulation result shows that the aspect entropy is more accurate in high signal-to-noise ratio. Only high scatterings in the RCS curve is important on anisotropic target discrimination. Therefore, we proposed a RCS curve denoising method and it is shown effective by the simulation. |

The microwave radar that uses the over-ocean evaporative duct (Sec. 12.5) to obtain extended propagation to detect low-altitude or surface targets beyond the normal line of sight is also sometimes called an over-the-horizon radar.

This process of impressing a time variation in velocity that results in bunching of the electrons of an initially uniform electron beam is called velocity modulation . Three or more RF cavities might be used. The interaction gap of the output cavity is placed at the point of maximum bunching so that the RF power can be extracted from the density modulated electron beam by a coupling loop in a lower power tube or by a waveguide (not shown) in a high power tube. |

Equation (8.6) is only an approximation, which may be seriously inadequate for many problems of array design. It should be used with caution.

RGHPRF produces the longest detection range against closing low cross section targets.71 Ultra-low noise frequency references are required to improve subclutter visibility on low RCS targets even using STAP. Range gating dramatically improves sidelobe clutter rejection, which allows operation at lower ownship altitudes. Principal limitations of RGHPRF closing target detection performance are eclipsing (a radar return when the receiver is off during the transmitted pulse) and range gate straddle losses (the range gate sampling time misses the peak of the radar return).15 Figure 5.18 shows TPi with eclipsing and straddle losses near maximum range for a high performance RGHPRF. |

Thus it is essential that noise be prevented from entering the receiver via the antenna sidelobes. A jammer whose noise energy is concentrated within tile radar receiver bandwidth is called a spot jammer. The spot jammer can be a potent threat to the radar if it is allowed to concentrate large power entirely within the radar bandwidth. |

It is likely that the iono- sphere will vary across the 64° azimuth scan, so that if a single operating fre- quency is used, the range to the transmitter footprint will change with azimuth; however, in general a different operating frequency could be selected for each 8° to obtain the desired illumination. Each transmitter footprint is filled by 16 con- tiguous receive beams, each 1A0 wide. At the lower left, one illumination sector is shown divided into receive resolution cells with each cell being approximately 10 nmi on the side. |

The amount of noise reduction may be estimated by comparing the area under a spectral-power-density plot of angle noise below the frequency corresponding to the radar servo bandwidth with the total area under the power-density plot. (The spectral-power-density plot may be obtained by squaring the ordinate values of a spectral-distribution plot such as shown in Figure 9.23). The choice of AGC characteristics also affects the amount of angle noise followed by a tracking antenna. |

It was not until 1971 that international marine radar standards were agreed by the Intergovernmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO, the original name of IMO). However, the use of radar on ships was first formally recognized by IMO in 1960 in an Annex to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. The influence of the 1946 proposed international standard was evident in the 1971 performance standards, even to the extent of using identical wording in a number of places. |
The atmosphere may be characterized for present purposes by a single temperature and a single loss, but it can be subdivided, ir desired, into an ionospheric compo nent, an oxygen component, and a water-vapor component. The combined temperature of cosmic noise and atmospheric noise [Tc + (La, -l )T.,] is called the space temperature, the brightness temperature, or the antenna temperature of an ideal antenna. The RF losses Lrr indicated in the figure are meant to include the antenna, radome, and duplexer losses, as well as transmission-line loss. |
A. This phenomenon results in a platform-motion clutter power spectrum which is weighted by the antenna's two-way power pattern in azimuth.

For modern radar applications, the advent of electronically controlled phase shifters, switches, and transmit/receive modules has once more directed attention to array antennas. The aperture excitation may now be modulated by controlling the phase of the individual elements to give beams that are scanned electronically. The dramatic advantage of electronically steered phased arrays as compared to reflectors is provided by the time required to steer beams and the flexibility in steering. |
