The tropospheric electromagnetic parabolic equation routine (TEMPER) has been used extensively in conjunction with system simulations in support of operational US Navy exercises and in various ship's system design tradeoff studies. The theory, features, and performance of TEMPER are described briefly, followed by a discussion of atmospheric measurement and resolution issues. Two high-resolution measurement systems are reviewed. Radar system simulation using environmental information is discussed, and several performance predictions in postulated propagation conditions are presented. Finally, a prototype environmental assessment system designed for use on board AEGIS ships is briefly described.<>

A technique for correction of spectral deformation by preceding the high-power amplifier by predistortion of the digital code before D/A conversion is discussed. Results from some preliminary experiments with the proposed predistortion techniques are presented. A simple test system is considered. How the spectral deformation is measured and how the correction filters are derived and used for predistortion are discussed. The results obtained with and without predistortion are presented and discussed. The implementation of the predistortion technique in a practical radar system is discussed. The main difficulty in this context is to measure the transfer function from which the predistorted code should be derived.<>

The fundamental relationships necessary for the design of SBRs to perform both search and tracking functions are derived. The impact of tracking requirements including track update time, the number of beams required to establish a track and the number of targets kept in track is addressed. The effects of constellation size and background traffic identities are included. The derivation of these relationships is facilitated by introducing a coupling parameter defined as track occupancy, which couples the radar search and track equations for SBR applications. A radar design set is determined for a selected track occupancy or, by specifying one of the radar parameters, the track occupancy is calculated based on the assumption that both modes of operation (search and track) are required. Then, all other parameters can be determined. If the radar is designed to perform either search or track, but not both, the radar sizing is handled in a different way, which is also discussed.<>

The theoretical return signal from aircraft propeller blades is analyzed. The basic theory involved is described, some simulation results are examined, and some practical considerations are discussed. It is shown that the modulation contained in the return signal is a form of frequency modulation and results in a number of sidebands about the center frequency of the target. It has also been shown that the modulation is due to six main variables, four of which are parameters of the propeller blades, one of which depends on the radar, and one of which depends on the aspect angle of the propeller.<>

A proposed conceptual design for increasing the output power of an existing X-band planetary radar transmitter from 365 kW to 1 MW CW is discussed. The basic transmitter system requirements as dictated by the specifications for the radar are discussed. The characteristics and expected performance of the high-power klystron are considered, and the transmitter power amplifier system is discussed. Also discussed is the design of the exciter system. Two alternative feed systems for delivering the 1-MW CW signal to the antenna system are described. The expected performance of the beam supply, heat exchanger, and monitor and control devices is presented. An assessment of the state-of-the-art technology to meet system requirements is given, and possible areas of difficulty are summarized.<>

A polarimetric SAR (synthetic aperture radar) system was designed in The Netherlands. The project is carried out in two steps. In this work, the first step, consisting of the preparatory studies including a SAR testbed, is described in detail. This SAR system will have limited capabilities, but will serve the purpose of acquiring experience with aircraft SAR and its technology. The system is built with state-of-the-art technology. Remarkable features are the fixed antenna and the low peak power, generated by solid-state devices. The use of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) in the PHARUS was investigated in a preparatory study on antenna technology. Application of MMICs would further reduce the dimensions of the radar system.<>

Based on the harmonic analysis method, discrete spheroidal wave functions are used to achieve a very high spectral resolution. For an N samples vector of the measured signal, the classical Fourier transform discrimination capability is 1/N, while in the method proposed, for the same number of samples, the discrimination capability might attain the value of 2/P, with P as the dimension of the FFT. Additional comparative study of other classical windows (rectangular, Hamming, and Tseng) is made.<>

In the proposed technique, controlled random phases added to the collimating phases of the elements of an array effectively change the aperture amplitude distribution, from an optical feed, to obtain an ultralow sidelobe antenna pattern. The reduced directive gain due to the random phases corresponds to that of the low sidelobe aperture distribution with the same central peak illumination, while the increase in the RMS sidelobes is sufficiently low in large arrays. Implementation of the technique and its performance evaluation, through computer simulation, are detailed. The work concludes with the results of simulation on a typical implementation.<>

A method of decomposing the polarization scattering matrix into parts corresponding to nonreciprocal, asymmetric, and symmetric scatterers is presented. The decomposition is used to classify scattering matrices into one of eleven classes. The decomposition and classification scheme is applied to fully polarimetric, millimeter-wave measurement data.

Details of its subassemblies and results of testing the array and its subassemblies are presented. The SSPA T/R (transmit/receiver) modules used a hybrid construction that is labor-intensive and leads to parameter variations. The next generation of modules uses monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) devices, which will result in more uniform parameters and lower manufacturing cost.<>
