Abstract:

AbstractSurface wave devices with their combination of versatility, robustness and close approach to theoretical performance will, for many years ahead, be attractive components for use in the generation and time compression of the chirp waveforms used in many modern radars. This paper outlines detailed device design considerations and describes the incorporation of these devices into a practical radar system. The capabilities and limitations of the technology are discussed.
