Proper initial phasing ofthe data-transmitter shaft can bemade by methods analogous tothose ofdisplay-sector selection (Chap. 13); alternatively, acontrolled phase shifter can beinserted between the a-f filter and theamplifier. Aconvenient index foruseinthis alignment can beprovided bytransmitting one ormore angle markers along with the video signals, asillustrated inFig. |
The PSPs perform signal processing on arrays of sensor data. The GPPs perform processing in which there are large numbers of conditional branches. The MCU issues programs to PSPs, GPPs, and BM, as well as manages overall execution and control. |
Typically, the receiver input noise will exceed that of the noise due to the receiver itself, so that the receiver has only a small impact on the system noise temperature or noise figure. Thus, when defining dynamic-range parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio, it is important to specify whether the noise level being referenced is the receiver noise or total system noise.

The far~out sidelobes of a cylindri cal array are generally large and broad in angle, as compared to those of a planar array. The design of efficient feed networks, the phase and amplitude control devices, distributed trans mitter and/or receiver modules, and the control algorithms and logic are other problem areas. Similar problems occur with other conformal-array shapes. |
It Jifkrs from the klystron amplifier by the continuous interaction of the electron beam and the RF field over the entire length of the propagating structure of the traveling-wave tuhc rathcr than the interaction occurring at the gaps of a relatively few resonant cavities. The chief character istic of the TWT of interest to the radar system engineer is its relatively wide bandwidth. A wide bandwidth is necessary in applications where goqd range-resolution is required or where it is desired to avoid deliberate jamming or mutual interference with nearby radars. |

Summaries of clutter measurements made before about 1970 may be found in several of the standard reference books on radar2,3 and radar clutter.4 Among the programs of this period, the most ambitious was that pursued in the late 1960s at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL),25 in which an airborne four- frequency radar (4FR), operating with both horizontal and vertical polarizations at UHF (428 MHz), L band (1228 MHz), C band (4455 MHz), and X band (8910 MHz), made clutter measurements upwind, downwind, and crosswind in winds from 5 to 50 kt for grazing angles between 5° and 90°. The system was calibrated against stan - dard metal spheres dropped from aircraft, and wind speeds and waveheights were recorded in the measurement areas from ship instruments. Typically, samples of s 0 for a given set of radar and environmental parameters are scattered over a wide range of values and in the NRL measurements were organized into probability distributions of the type shown in Figure 15.2. |

This provides a three-dimensional "image" of the target since the azimuth and elevation of each scatterer is given along with the range. Figure 5.20 is an example of the type of radar image that might be obtained with an aircraft. This technique not only improved significantly the tracking accur- acy as compared with a longer pulse conventional tracker, but its unique measurement properties provide additional capabilities. |
CFAs might have an efficiency from 40 to 60%, use a lower voltage than linear-beam tubes, are lighter in weight and smaller in size, and have been found from UHF to K band. However, they have relatively low gain and their stability and noise are not as good as found in linear-beam tubes, so their application for MTI radar has been limited. Because of the CFA’s low gain, the crossed-field amplifier transmitter needs more than one stage of RF amplification, each with its own power supply, modulator, and controls. |

A given radar might work equally well with a mechanically positioned array, a lens, or a reflector antenna if they each had the same radiation pattern, but such a radar could not be converted efficiently to an electronically scanned array by simple replace- ment of the antenna alone because of the interdependence of the array and the other portions of the radar.
